Abstract:
Pennsylvania adult education programs are expected to use CCRS-based lessons and assignments as the core of instruction. This website includes tools, resources, and on-demand professional development modules to support the use of Pennsylvania's College and Career Readiness Standards in adult education.
The College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education (CCRS) are a subset of the Common Core State Standards that reflect broad agreement among subject matter experts in adult education about what adult students need to know to be prepared for the rigors of post-secondary education and the workplace. Pennsylvania adult education programs are expected to use CCRS-based lessons and assignments as the core of instruction. Below are tools, resources, and on-demand professional development modules to support the use of the CCRS. Resources are organized by category. If you are not sure where to begin, talk to your in-house professional development specialist or read the suggestions provided in each section.

Abstract:
This spotlight describes actions and strategies that career navigators and advisors can take in helping English learners and immigrants participating in IELCE and IET activities.
Career navigators and advisors support adult learners by providing a consistent point of contact throughout their education program and identifying services and resources to support learners on their career pathway. This support can be crucial to English learners and immigrants learning to navigate complex U.S. systems. This spotlight offers recommendations and resources for career navigators and program staff serving ELs and adult immigrant learners.
Benefits and Uses
This spotlight offers strategies for career navigators to apply to the services they provide to English learners and immigrants. Career navigators will benefit from learning about different strategies and considerations they can bring to their work with these learners. Learners will benefit from the support of career navigators who are better prepared to help those learners take advantage of available services, supports, and opportunities. Strong navigation services also help English and immigrant learners who are better supported and prepare for and succeed in their next steps, be it continued education, workforce training, or careers.
In this spotlight, career navigators will learn from strategies and examples from Austin Community College’s Career Pathways Coordinator, the partnership of adult education providers in Chicago that provides a career navigator position at their local OneStop, and others. The spotlight culminates with a selection of resources, research, and training opportunities that career navigators can explore for more information.

Abstract:
Each checklist item is a clickable link to resources and tools aimed at assisting IET design teams in successfully implementing each step of the process.
This checklist, adapted from the ADVANCE Integrated Education and Training (IET) Design Camp Toolkit and Virginia IET Planning Tool, is a step-by-step guide for administrators, instructors, and partners to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate an IET program. Each checklist item is a clickable link to resources and tools aimed at assisting design teams in successfully implementing each step of the process.
Benefits and Uses
This Virginia Adult Learning Resource Center (VALRC) resource is a comprehensive to-do checklist for IET design brainstorming that functions as a recommended IET resource bibliography, especially referencing the IET Design Toolkit. It is laid out clearly in chart form with associated links for a robust set of standards around the initial stages of IET development, including Self-Assessment, Program Planning and Design, Learner Experience, Instruction, and Technical Assistance and Professional Learning Community (Parts I–V). The checklist functions as a useful guide to the critical steps involved with IET program design and as a one-stop curated list of relevant resources.

Abstract:
IELCE activities funded by WIOA Section 243 funds must be delivered in combination with IET programs. Using bridge strategies to connect IELCE to IET is one approach to delivering IELCE activities in combination with IET programs. This spotlight how states, regions, and programs are using bridge strategies to prepare learners enrolled in IELCE activities for IET programs.
Benefits and Uses
Recognizing that states and programs must deliver Section 243-funded IELCE activities in combination with IET, this spotlight aims to provide substantive examples of one approach: the use of bridge strategies. This spotlight describes the benefits of using bridge strategies to connect IELCE to IET. It also provides an example framework for how IELCE can serve a bridge by preparing learners for an IET and other steps along a career pathway.
The spotlight showcases examples of this approach in action at the state, regional, and program level. State staff and program administrators will benefit from the experience shared by Washington State, Women Employed, and Prince George’s Community College. States and programs can also explore considerations for using bridge strategies to connect IELCE to IET.

Abstract:
These two classroom videos and accompanying materials are designed to provide adult educators with models of effective standards implementation. Through these Standards-in-Action (SIA) videos, adult educators can identify instructors employing effective language acquisition teaching and learning practices required by challenging academic standards. Both videos showcase online teaching, so there are also many good examples of using a combination of technology tools and resources to engage learners and enhance learning.
These two SIA classroom videos and associated lesson materials are designed to support adult educators in implementing the instructional shifts required by college and career readiness (CCR) standards and research-based language acquisition practices and strategies. The videos can be used for independent study or as part of a professional learning community or professional development program.
The SIA Video Resource Package for English Language Acquisition accompanying the videos provides additional guidance and concrete, visible evidence of CCR standards-aligned lessons. They include:
