We spent a few years piloting different methods of delivery. The best model in PA seems to be blended. We fund a Distance Learning Project out of Tuscarora Intermediate Unit # 11. The Project uses Workplace Essential Skills and GED Connections in conjunction with a teacher who is available by phone, email, or mail. If you would like more information about the Distance Learning Project in PA, you can contact Destiny Meyers at dmeyers@tiu11.org or Andy Simpson at asimpson@tiu11.org. As an adult education advisor for the Commonwealth, I have had positive feedback from programs and learners in rural corners of the state about the Project and the service provided by the distance teachers.
