Enrollment
Students
who enroll in our program must be over sixteen years of age and not attending
public school. If you are under nineteen, you must have a letter from the
last school attended stating the drop-out date.
To
enroll, you must make an appointment for Orientation and Assessment. During
the orientation, you will be given an overview of how the program works
and what you must do in order to attain your goals.
Assessments
The
assessments given in reading, mathematics, language and spelling will reveal
your strengths and weaknesses. This information will be used to place you
in the proper study materials. You will have a "prescription" written in
the front of your folder, which tells you exactly what to study. You will
be assigned work that can be done out of books and work that can be done
on computers. We also have one-on-one lessons and group lessons. Each time
you come in, you will work on a variety of lessons. A record of everything
you do will be recorded by you on a "daily log." You will check your own
work. You must make progress in order to stay in the program.
Attendance
The
attendance requirement is a minimum of nine hours per week. You may attend
as many hours as your time permits, and you may set your own schedule.
We are open 28 hours a week. We open at 9:00 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (3:00 p.m. during June, July, and
part of August). Students do not attend school on Friday.
About
the GED
We
have a variety of students. Some are GED students, but we also teach basic
education as a refresher for those who may be going into higher education
programs or preparing for some other kind of test, such as the ASVAB to
get into the military.
WE
DO NOT GIVE THE GED TEST.
It
is given at the Career Tech Center, 1035 Norway Avenue; Huntington, WV,
and other sites outside of Cabell County.
A Final
Note
The
reason this Learning Center exists is so that adults will have a place
where they may study and learn, so they can successfully move on to their
next goal in life. The teachers are here to assist you, but you are the
one who must put forth the effort to study and learn the things you need
in order to reach your goal. The key word here is STUDY; you must study! |
