Hi Lauri,
Thanks for sharing your article about the program at SCC. It seems like
it has learned many important lessons thruought its lifespan and
adjusted to meet the learners' needs. I have a few questions that you
and others may be able to address.

1. I was intrigued how you said that home study is a good option for
those with learning disabilities. I'd love to hear more about why this
is.

2. Is there a way that SCC prepares those class-based students who
forsee "stopping out" for the upcoming home study option? Also, is there
specific preparation for learning the computer skills required for the
GED Online part?

3. The grade levels required seem high, which makes sense. Does your
program, or others out there, have self-study options that are
appropriate for lower level learners? (Granted, this would be harder and
require more contact and guidance.)

Thanks,
Julie
