They're designed to introduce students to what is known about the economic impact of the GED, in the hopes of providing them with some impetus to continue on to postsecondary. The text was targeted towards GED prep students, so perhaps that will be suitable for the learner who contacted you, Daphne. Find the materials on the NCSALL website: http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu Click on teaching and training materials. Scroll down: it's the second item in the list. Also, Focus on Basics has featured material about the impact of the GED. Same Web site, under Publications, Focus on Basics, Topic. Scroll down to these two articles: NCSALL Research Finding: The GED: Whom Does It Help? John H. Tyler (Volume 2, Issue B, June 1998) Focus on Research: NCSALL's The Process of Passing the GED Barbara Garner (Volume 2, Issue B, June 1998) And don't forget the new publication, Focus on Policy. A box on NCSALL's home page will lead you right there. Barb Garner Editor, Focus on Basics NCSALL (that annoying "fill in your state" page that guards the entrance to "Focus on Basics" has actually provided us with much useful information upon which we have acted...so thanks for jumping that hurdle) >>> sissy.kegley@verizon.net 07/12/03 05:13PM >>> I just came across several documents related to this on the ncsall site. Click on publications, then go to the research briefs ( 2-pagers).: presumably they are all written at advanced levels...perhaps they can lead you to something at an easier to read level.

I would like to pose her question to the group. Do you know of anything that she can look at that shows the value of getting a GED? If you know of something, please also indicate if it is written at an advanced literacy level, or at an easier to read level.
