GED Testing Accommodations and Adaptations
How do we level the playing field for adults with special
learning needs?
Presenter: Connie Leading brings 30 years
of professional and personal experience to her position with the
Ohio Department of Education's GED Office. As GED Testing
Accommodations Manager and as the Chief Examiner for
Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools in Groveport, OH,
she has been instrumental in the development of curricula for
public and private institutions which addresses the challenges
faced by students with disabling conditions. In these capacities
and as a mother of two "accommodated learners" who have
experienced the emotional and physical aspects of learning
through accommodations, Connie serves as a strong advocate for
the needs of special students.
Description: Adults with special
learning needs taking the GED fall into two categories: (1)
Those adults with documented ADA disabilities, who require
accommodations such as extended time, supervised breaks,
scribes, audiocassettes. (2) Those adults, for whom teachers
have identified learning needs requiring adaptations or
modifications such as magnifiers, colored overlays, straight
edges, rooms without fluorescent lighting, etc. These latter
adaptations do not require prior approval by the GED state
offices.
This session will clarify information concerning accommodations
and adaptations and will provide effective ways to prepare your
students to use these tools to successfully pass the GED Test. |
