 In order for students to receive their diplomas in Georgia, they must pass The Georgia High School Graduation Writing Test (GHSGWT). The GHSGWT is a comprehensive, manually written  test that assesses student writing abilities based on Georgia requirements for students to show possession of the writing skills necessary to attend and successfully complete post secondary education in college or vocational/technical education.   The GHSGWT requires students to write a persuasive essay of at least 5 paragraphs composed of at least 5 sentences that convey a well organized opinion using supporting evidence intended to persuade the reader toward their opinion. This is a problem for many students because most students have not practiced their writing skills since attending  middle school. These days, high school academic classes that are a part of graduation requirements, End of Course Tests (EOCT), are taken online  and are composed of a broad base of multiple choice questions that students read and answer by selecting the correct answer. These EOCT's test only content knowledge of a specific course with no writing at all required to complete these tests. Most student writing in high school is done in the form of note taking with few paragraph form answers required of students as a part of classroom testing. Students have little opportuniy to sharpen writing skills and memories of writing skills begin to decay because of inactivity. It is paramount that these skills should be practiced frequently by having a maintenance program of scheduled learning sessions where writing skills are assessed and developed to the student's specific learning styles.  The process of developing and maintaining these writing skills is a specialty of mine. I base my teaching strategies on the diagnossis of student learning strengths and help them to develop the skills necessary to write effective persuasive essays.   Don't allow poor writing skills to frustrate your child and cause them to miss out on opportunities to achieve life goals in education. Call me to assist you in diagnosing needs for your child and for consultation to prepare an individualized plan to teach student strength based writing skills in a program with instruction tailored to your child's learning styles.
