ACCELERATING OPPORTUNITY -  KANSAS  

 

College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards

Kansas Adult Education adopted the national College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for Adult Education in April of 2013. Published by the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, the purpose of the standards is to strengthen the links among adult education, postsecondary education, and careers. 

 

The Kansas Adult Education Practitioners

The Kansas WIOA Title II Practitioner Roles Descriptions provide guidelines for the delivery of high-quality adult education through the program’s personnel.

 

Digital Literacy Training

Digital literacy and digital skills are vital for success in college, careers, and community engagement. Northstar, available to Kansas WIOA Title II providers, is one resource to help learners build these skills.

 

TABE Resources

Kansas WIOA Title II providers use specific assessments for pretesting and posttesting. TABE 13&14 and CLAS-E C&D are the NRS-approved assessments in Kansas. Many resources for educators, including manuals and walkthrough videos, are available in the DRC Insight Portal. Additional resources are available on the TABE website, linked below.


Kansas Adult Education Association

The Kansas Adult Education Association (KAEA) was established in 1947. KAEA's endeavors of training Adult Educators has only allowed more and more people to improve their knowledge and the basic skills adults need to successfully carry out their roles as parents, productive citizens, and economically self-sufficient workers in the 21st Century. Through the Accelerating Opportunities: Kansas (AO-K) initiative launched in 2011, students continue to have the opportunity to acquire stronger reading, writing, and math skills, as well as enrollment in career pathways-based postsecondary education. 

 

Literacy Information and Communication System

Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) is a professional learning community for adult educators that provides access to resources, professional development, and a connected network of practitioners.
