Did you know that in the past two years, 82% out of the 77,000 GED test takers had difficulty passing the math test even though they successfully passed RLA, Science, and Social Studies? (Source: GED Testing Service)
To meet the needs for math instructional support, the Family Math Literacy Initiative Call Center funded by TWC opened to the public in March 2023.
The purpose of the Call Center is to provide services to participants and their families that focus on learning basic math operations and enhancing digital skill building.
Collaborating with 4 Ever Clever Learning LLC, the Call Center has 20 part-time rotating certified math teachers who provide math instructional support throughout the week and on weekends from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Teachers use the Zoom platform with editable virtual whiteboard functionality to deliver these services to participants.
