2021-2022 PLC Products
In their PLC work this year, WKEC explored whether the possibility of external financial incentive would motivate those who need 1 or 2 more tests to finish the GED®. WKEC devised a local GED® promotion to coincide with bootcamp-style GED® instruction. WKEC staff will present highlights from their Don’t Stop Achieving Promotion and GED® Journey Academy; provide GED® assessment and instructional strategies that grew from their PLC product; reveal promotion results; and share a collaborative resource they designed to support their PLC product.
2020-2021 PLC Products
The OCTC PLC chose to implement a case management program because data demonstrated that not all students were completing their educational goals. The staff felt that with a frequent and sustained contact and encouragement system (case management), OCTC could move more students to educational gains and the accomplishment of the HSE.
As featured in the MM/WW topic “An Introduction to the Case Management Service Delivery Model for Adult Education” facilitated by Kathryn Hardman on March 1 & 3, 2021.
The strategies in this project include a case management system for student tracking, GED® weekends, library experience bags, and the tablet program.

Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College Skills U decided to tackle ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences).
