Contact Information

• 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.
