Bonnita, here are some leads:

1) An article in About Adult/Continuing Education, April 15, 2001
http://adulted.about.com/cs/ged/a/GEDcurricula.htm
“Instructors in the College Prep GED program at the City University  
of New York (CUNY) have been using theme based curricula for over 10  
years. This innovative program, in place on 11 CUNY campuses, was  
designed for students not only to pass the GED test but also to pass  
college placement tests and avoid remedial classes.”
