NCCCS Adult Education Content Standards 

The North Carolina Community College System in partnership with ABSPD produced the NCCCS Adult Education Standards and Resources.  Per WIOA guidelines, “The adult education component of [Integrated Education and Training] must be aligned to the State’s content standards.”  Click HERE to find the standards and accompanying toolkit of resources.  

 

Fluency Text Lending Library

ABSPD sponsors a lending library that allows North Carolina College and Career Readiness instructors to borrow high interest, leveled books for a semester.  We will ship the books to you free of charge.  You are then responsible for the costs of returning them to ABSPD via media mail.  We have many titles that are described in a searchable database.  Click HERE to find the printable list of the lending library. 

 

Vocabulary Lessons

ABSPD created 38 vocabulary lessons for adult learners that each have five Tier 2 words.  These lessons are designed to be taught using direct instruction. We have created a shared folder that contains the lessons in Google Docs that can be used in Google Classroom. The documents are in "view only" format and will require the new user to go to "file" then "make a copy" when the document is opened to save the document in an editable format. Click Here to go the Google Docs shared folder of vocabulary lessons. If you prefer to have the vocabulary lessons as Word documents click here.

WIOA

WIOA, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, is the Federal legislation that governs how our adult basic education programs should be run.  Click HERE to find a page of resources that help instructors teach in the WIOA era.
