We are excited to join the Coalition on Adult Basic Education once more, this year in Dallas. COABE’s mission is to inspire educators so adults succeed, and communities thrive. This closely aligns with the GED Testing Services’ mission of helping adults gain their high school equivalency diploma and improve their lives. Whether the learners’ goal is a new career, college, or climbing the job ladder, our GED program is designed to help students develop the critical thinking skills and self-confidence needed to help them flourish. We share COABE’s goal of enriching the lives of our learners by opening doors and offering innovative prospects.
This year we are proud to host the 13 expert-led sessions, covering the latest trends, best practices and practical solutions in adult education.
At GED Testing Service, we seek innovative tools to help our learners and collaborate with partners to serve the changing adult education ecosystem best. Join our GED team of subject matter experts at our numerous concurrent presentations on topics spanning employability goals, adult learning theory and responsive classrooms and more!
For detailed information and the schedule visit COABE at a Glance. Be sure to check out these GEDTS led sessions and stop by booth #501!
