We use Family Partnership Agreements.  First, we identify the strengths
and needs of a family and then they decide on a goal.  Their immediate
need may not always be the GED, but it could be an intermediate goal,
such as taking a math class or similar to get them in the right
direction.  For many aiming for the GED may be too overwhelming.

I am in a new program aimed specifically at parents without their GED.
I 
am seeking ideas to use homevisits more effectively.  In the parent home

I find these gracious people are prone to agree with me in their need to

get their GED.  I have received many promises but not as many 
participants appear.  What can I do to effect more than just a promise
of 
attending a GED program?
