GED Prep

M-Power Ministries

The GED program is a 12-week course offered twice annually, enrolling up to 30 students. Students must meet certain baseline academic requirements. Classes
include writing, social studies, math, science, personal development, computer skills, budgeting, and goal setting. GED Course objectives include
developing the skills necessary to succeed in an academic environment, improving academic abilities, implementing a personalized GED study plan, and
developing a post-GED transition plan. Students who complete the GED Course are better prepared to either take the GED or enter into a self-directed GED
study. Time spent with M-POWER instructors builds confidence and self-advocacy skills.
With changes in the GED test, effective January 2014, M-POWER is in the process of updating curriculum and making sure our students are prepared for a more
difficult and costly test. In 2014, the GED will cost $150, as opposed to $50, will be completely electronic, and will require students to pass all five
sections at one time. In the past, students have been able to retake sections where they failed. These changes create a greater fear of failure, which
makes the work of M‑POWER even more important, as our holistic approach to education fosters growth in self-confidence and self-advocacy.
