NLA Discussion: Meeting the Needs of Out-of-school Youth

[KathleenBombach at aol.com]

Angela:

Our youth GED program was set up using a classroom instruction plus mandatory 
tutoring model. Participants attended three hours of classroom instruction 
daily with regular college GED faculty. They then had one and a half hour of 
tutoring (no computers back then). I noticed how the students would tell us 
that they made all their progress in the tutoring component, not the 
classroom component, which was provided by our college's regular GED 
department.  Of course, the teaching style of the GED faculty was lecture and 
repitition following a strict schedule of two weeks instruction for each of 
the five test areas.  In tutoring, they received individual and small group 
instruction from associates degree level tutors in only the areas they needed.
