Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the MPR report, College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for Adult Education, is now available at: http://lincs.ed.gov/publications/pdf/CCRStandardsAdultEd.pdf
The work is the result of a nine-month process that examined the Common Core State Standards from the perspective of adult education. It was funded to provide a set of manageable yet significant CCR standards that reflect broad agreement among subject matter experts in adult education about what is desirable for adult students to know to be prepared for the rigors of postsecondary education and training. It is our hope that this document proves a valuable resource for years to come.
You will also find the CCR Standards for Adult Education report posted on the following Websites:

- Office of Vocational and Adult Education, Adult Education and Literacy – http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ovae/pi/AdultEd/index.html
- Adult Education Content Standards Warehouse – http://www.adultedcontentstandards.ed.gov
I hope you will forward this information to your programs, and should you have any questions please contact Ronna Spacone at (202) 245-7755 or Ronna.Spacone@ed.gov.
Thank you,
