CAEC Resources for Practitioners.docx
The CAEC alignment project includes 50 resources. Each document contains ten resources, which are grouped into five topic areas:
English Writing
English Reading
Math
Science
Social Studies
AlphaPlus completed a project with a few GED instructors, examining the new CAEC. They wanted to know what skills, knowledge and strategies test-takers would need to respond to test questions. The aim was to build the knowledge of adult educators and help them get started with CAEC preparation and instruction while they wait for some additional resources to be developed, which are on the way. The report considers the substantial digital, content and cognitive complexity changes (a new element) compared to the GED. Here are the project related resources.

Labour Education Centre created this website for learners. They built this website to help adults practice skills related to learning computers, tablets and smartphones. It is a place where anyone can explore, practice, and gain confidence with digital tools at their own pace. The website also shows work made by learners in their classes. Their goal is to support adults learning digital skills, both inside and outside the classroom. They created this site based on the real needs of learners, while collecting user feedback to improve and add new activities.
The following list of best practices has been compiled in consultation with LBS practitioners. This included 10 meetings in five countries, two regional meetings and a survey in the LOCS area, as well as an Eastern Region brainstorming session. It also included consultation with Lesley Hamilton a consultant for LBS and LOCS.
This workbook is designed to help you improve your vocabulary. It includes 24 lessons with a variety of exercises to help you learn new words commonly used in the Canadian workplace.

In June 2024, Support Organizations received funding from MLITSD through the System Navigation Funding to complete addition program development work. LLO was asked continue to coordinate OALCF development across sectors and streams and regions. Information, materials, and resources related to this project will be housed on this site.
This website has been designed to house a selection of Apprenticeship information and resources. The target population for this live binder is Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) programs. It’s our goal to provide instructors with information and resources that build their capacity to work with students who have an Apprenticeship as a career goal.
