This packet, designed for teachers of Job Corps participants is intended to familiarize them with the contents and presentation methods of the competency program developed to help students prepare for the General Educational Development (GED) (high school equivalency) tests. The first part of the package contains a teacher's guide that presents an overview of the competencies program. The guide covers the following: the content and organization of the 1988 edition of the GED, organization and sequence of the competencies program, how to use the GED competencies program, and resources and references. The competencies program guides are organized in five sections corresponding to the five sections of the GED test: writing skills, social studies, science, literature and the arts, and mathematics. Each of the sections contains a number of units that cover the material expected to be tested by the 1988 GED. Each section contains an overview, descriptions of each content unit, pretests and posttests, content materials for each unit, and supplementary materials. Within the content units, student checklists help teachers to guide their students through the required competencies. (KC)
