Abstract:
Many adults who leave high school before graduation go on to lead productive lives through grit and gumption. Some opt to return to our community college to complete their diploma. In addition to the GED® credential, our school offers a competency-based high school diploma program called High School 21+ (HS21+). The HS21+ option allows students to re-enter school with a proficiency focus that incorporates high school credits already earned, documented work and life experience related to high school academics, and technological, literacy, and cognitive skills demonstrations within the classroom. We provide an emergent learning space for achievement and completion that maximizes prior learning success. This session demonstrates competency-based college and career readiness that, through effective interaction and technology-intensive rigor, scaffolds high school completion with workplace and college readiness.

Abstract:
Ever wonder why individuals we serve make decisions or choices that just don’t seem to make any sense? Hear about the latest research: Scarcity—The New Science of Having Less and How it Defines Our Lives. Learn what some of those common decisions or choices are, the economic and personal rationales that are often behind them, and how we can best support those we serve. Spend time considering alternate plans to best assist our students/consumers as they transition from the classroom to employment and self-sufficiency.
