General Educational Development (GED)

Our Mission
 
To enable every learner to acquire the necessary skills in reading, speaking, writing and math so they will become life-long learners and productive citizens in a global society.
 
The Adult Education Program for Service Delivery Area 24 (SDA 24) consisting of Effingham, Chatham, Bryan and Liberty Counties, believes that the adult learner wants to learn basic literacy skills. We believe that adult learners acquire these skills in an educational setting where the curriculum, teaching methods, and materials are adjusted to their individual learning needs and styles.
 
We also believe that our adult learners want to be empowered to take control of their lives and that this can happen best by involving them as partners in the learning process. This process involves consulting with them on a continuous basis in setting goals and selecting instructional materials consistent with their learning styles.
