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 guidlelines, “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,  levelled 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 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.  Click HERE to find the lessons.
