The AGE Program has multiple purposes. Primarily, it provides instruction in reading and language and mathematics to students seeking to obtain a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. Another purpose is to supports parents to become full partners in the educational development of their children and to improve the economic opportunities of their family. Finally, the AGE Program helps learners transition to postsecondary education and training and obtain employment.  \nGED® Preparation Program: The purpose of the GED® Preparation program is to prepare students to pass the four subtests of the official GED® Test: Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies.  \nGED® Science Course: The purpose of the Science course of the GED® program is to prepare students to pass the GED® Science subtest. The framework includes science practices and content standards. Science practices are described as skills that are important to scientific reasoning in both textual and quantitative contexts.  \nSTUDENTS  \nStudents eligible to enroll in the GED® Science course are those who:  \n• Are beyond compulsory school age (16 years)*  \n• Are no longer enrolled in a K-12 school  \n• Score at or above the National Reporting System (NRS) Educational Functioning Level (EFL) 5 and the Grade Equivalent 9.0 – 9.9 as measured by FDOE-approved assessments.  \n* See s. Florida Statute 1003.435(4), F.S.,“A candidate for a high school equivalency diploma shall be at least 18 years of age on the date of the examination, except that in extraordinary circumstances, as provided for in rules of the district school board, a candidate may take the examination after reaching the age of 16.”  \nEDUCATIONAL FUNCTIONING LEVELS  \nThe Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act defines the term Educational Functioning Level as “the ABE, ASE and ESL literacy levels, as provided in the NRS Guidelines, that describe a set of skills and competencies that students demonstrate in the skill areas of the National Reporting System.”(Code of Federal Regulations Title 34 Subtitle B Chapter IV Part 462) .  \nTable 1 shows the NRS EFLs of the GED® Science course, as provided in the NRS Guidelines. It also shows the corresponding Grade Equivalent levels.  \nTable 1: NRS EFLs and Grade Equivalents for the GED® Science Course  \n\n| Course Title | NRS Educational Functioning Levels | Grade Equivalent |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| GED® Science | ABE Level 5 | 9.0 – 10.9 |\n| GED® Science | ABE Level 6 | 11.0 – 12.9 |\n\nPROGRAM LENGTH  \nTable 2 illustrates the recommended maximum number of instructional hours for each level. It is understood, however, that each student learns at their individual pace and there will be students who successfully complete the program or attain their educational goals in fewer (or more) than the recommended maximum hours noted.  \nTable 2: Recommended Maximum Number of Hours by Educational Functioning Level  \n\n| Course Title | NRS Educational Functioning Levels | Recommended Maximum Hours |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| GED® Science | ABE Level 5 | 250 |\n| GED® Science | ABE Level 6 | 250 |\n\nCURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION  \nThe GED® Science curriculum framework provides instructors with the anchor standards in science that the adult learner needs.
