Hi everyone,
 
I just received this email that I thought might be of interest to some
of you.  Does anyone have any initial reactions to the revised GED
Testing Program?  Perhaps if anyone sends inquiries to the panel, or
attends the Institute described below, we could follow that up with a
discussion here.
 
Thanks!

Attached is correspondence from the GEDR Testing Service about the
continuance of the 2002 Series GED Tests.  In short, the GED Tests - 5th
edition will not be released in 2012.  GEDTS in collaboration with the
jurisdictions, is revamping the GEDR Testing Program that will reflect
more rigorous national content standards.  The revised GED Testing
Program is now referenced as GED 20/20.  An actual release date for the
new tests is not yet identified; however, some modifications might be
realized as early as 2010.
 
Vice president Nicole Chestang and deputy director Marty Kehe
(ACE-GEDTS) will be presenting on this topic during our Fall Adult
Education Institute on Thursday, October 28, 2009, 9 - 11 a.m.  Dr.
Shirley Pippins, senior vice president of the American Council on
Education (ACE) will also provide an update on ACE's revised vision for
GED Testing during her remarks at the GED Awards Luncheon on Thursday,
October 28th, 11:30 a.m.  
 
If you have specific questions that you would like the presenters to
consider, please electronically submit your inquiries to Victoria Porter
(vporter at tcsg.edu) by noon on Wednesday, October 14, 2009.
