If we target specific Math skills and provide practice on these skills via IXL along with teacher instruction to students who have completed at least 50% of their GED®, can we achieve 15 GED®s?
Product Overview
PLC Product/Strategy/Process: Locate students 50-75% finished with GED®, contact these students and encourage them to complete their GED®. Provide specific IXL Math practice inside and outside the classroom along with teacher instruction.
We chose the learning tool IXL because of its ease of use and the flexibility of its use. Due to struggles with connectivity in our area, the ability to engage in instruction with a mobile phone is vital. We targeted specific students and specific IXL lessons in hopes to gain 15 GED®s.
