Lucy's Hints for Ensuring your Students Pass the GED

Event coordinator and GED instructor, Lucy Morgan, discussed her strategies for helping students. Lucy began her presentation by telling the teachers to "ask the students when they would like to get their GED." She told the audience that you must understand your students goals and timeline. Furthermore, she added "you must be honest and straight with your students." If a students comes in at 3.7 grade level in Math, you must let that student know that it will take them some time to learn what is needed to pass the test." Lucy also discussed the Lottery Scholarship and how all the students who pass their GED are eligible with it. She also talked the new GED test that is slated to begin in 2012! Thanks Lucy for a great presentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer ENMU-Roswell ABE Teacher Meeting

This Saturday thirty teachers and ABE staff from Chaves and Roosevelt Counties met in Roswell to improve their ability to serve ABE students. The meeting was put together by the instructors for the instructors. Instructors Maelisa Rydholm, Lucy Morgan, Martha Hernandez, Sally Green and Nancy Alvarado-Munoz planned and organized the event. More on this event will follow soon.

Today ABE Instructor and Math Specialist Mike Sudduth reviewed the Pythagorean Theorem with some GED students. Mike was taking Pam's place today and is getting familiar with ABE procedures and students. Mr. Sudduth spent many years teaching math and is very familiar with what students need to pass the GED test. Mr. Sudduth is also an experienced beekeeper and we are investigating setting up a beekeeping class at the college. Do you think this is the reason his wife always calls him "honey."
