COABE presentation on Career Pathways and Adult Basic Education in High-Need Cities

Hi, all. If you are attending COABE, please join us at this session next Monday:

A New Research Partnership: Career Pathways and Adult Basic Education in High-Need Cities

Esther Prins, Carol Clymer, & Blaire Toso (Penn State), Sheri Foreman Elder & Martin Loa (Houston Center for Literacy), Mark Needle (Miami-Dade County Public Schools), Becky Raymond & Alex Ziskind (Chicago Citywide Literacy Coalition)

Session 1, Monday, April 11 10:45am-12:00pm, Cityview 6, Level 4

Career pathways has become a popular buzzword, but we know little about how adult basic education providers in large cities are integrating career pathways components into their services, how their programs are designed, who they serve, what kinds of outcomes they are achieving, and how they measure these outcomes. This presentation will describe the goals and strategies of a new Institute of Education Sciences project, “Career Pathways Programming for Lower-Skilled Adults and Immigrants,” and present preliminary findings from our survey of providers in Chicago, Houston, and Miami.
