Model • Open entry/exit allows students to begin or end class as needed and assigned. • Students progress at their own pace. • Most facilities begin newly assigned students each Monday. • Academic progress is documented by administering National Reporting System (NRS) approved assessments – Currently TABE forms 11 and 12.
Model Assessments • Upon assignment to AE program, students complete TABE test and set progress goals. • Continuing students complete assessments periodically to provide objective evidence of progress. • Once a student’s TABE scores meet the guidelines for HSEC official practice testing, this test is scheduled as soon as possible. • When official practice test scores indicate that the student is likely to pass the HSEC exam, the exam is scheduled as soon as possible. • Students are exited from class once a HSEC is obtained, and when possible enrolled in post-secondary education or training at the facility.
Model Classroom Time • Instructional hours available vary, with the primary relevant factor being facility security level. • Interruptions to class participation such as lockdowns or class cancellation due to lack of security staff are more likely to occur at the higher security level facilities.
