eTAP provides curriculum for the core subjects of Mathematics, English, History and Science for grades 1 through 12. This curriculum is divided into Lessons, with topics shown in the Table of Contents (TOC). These lessons are grouped by subject and grade level. Each lesson contains:
Whichever system you chose, most states allow students to take the GED test and receive a General Education Diploma as early as age 16. Most states have two-year community colleges which allow enrollment with a GED in place of a High School diploma. Students can then transfer from the community college to a four-year university. As an alternative, students can take the SAT exam for direct admittance to most four-year college or universities. We recommend that a record is kept of completed work sheets, practice exercises, etc. in a three-ring binder. This record can be used to satisfy local school agencies requirements. If you decide to enroll your child in school at a later time, these records will also help the school determine the right grade placement for your child. Here are examples of how eTAP can be used for different grade levels: High School Grades 9-12 (ages 14-18)The instruction style for High School is independent self-study. The Parent/Teacher provides guidance and assistance as needed. The program is academic and provides the preparation usually required for entrance to college.There is also Test Preparation courses provided for the HSEE, SAT, GED and ASVAB exams: HSEE (High School Exit Exam) review is for those students who are required to take this exam by their state school agency. SAT review is provided to assist the student in obtaining the high score necessary to attend the four-year college or university of his or her choice. GED (General Educational Development) test certifies the taker has attained high school-level academic skills. For most purposes, a GED is considered to be equivalent to a high school diploma. Approximately 95% of colleges will accept GED graduates, though they will typically require them to take the SATs and/or ACT. If a four-year college will not accept a GED graduate, you can attend any community college in the United States, after which they can transfer to almost any four-year school. ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is the test required by the military for those who wish to join the Military Service. MathematicsThe usual sequence is Trigonometry, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Statistics, and Pre-Calculus.Trigonometry has seven lessons and is extended over one half of a year. About 2-3 weeks may be spent on each lesson Algebra I has 16 lessons and is extended over one year of study. Each lesson may take two weeks to complete. Geometry has 16 lessons and is extended over one year of study. Each lesson may take two weeks to complete. Algebra II has 11 lessons and is extended over one year of study. Each lesson may take two weeks to complete. Statistics has nine lessons and is extended over a half a year. About two weeks may be spent on each lesson. English (Language Arts)English has 22 lessons that span the four years of High School. Lessons are identified with the grade level where the content should be emphasized. Each lesson may take two weeks of study. The student should move on to a higher level of study as he or she proceeds to the next year of study.ScienceScience provides a separate subject for each of the four High School years. The subjects may be studied in any sequence, although Earth Science should be completed first with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Oceanography being studied in subsequent years.Each subject has about 10 lessons to be completed over the period of one school year. About 3-4 weeks should be used for each lesson. History (Social Studies)History also provides different subjects for each of the four High School years.Each subject has 10-14 lessons to be studied over the period of one school year.
