Colleagues,
I am wondering how teachers, programs and states are responding to the new emphasis in the CCRS on speaking and listening skills -- in particular for ABE, ASE and Transition to College students.
- Are these skills on our radar for ABE, ASE and Transition students (since the high school equivalency exams don't test them)?
- Are they really included in the CCRS?
I have just posted a new blog article entitled "Should we teach adults speaking skills?" at http://davidjrosen.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/should-we-teach-adults-speaking-skills/ which addresses these questions, but I am interested to know if those in this CoP have been thinking about including them, and if so, how.
