Resources to Prepare learners for Canadian Adult Education Credential
Below is a compilation of CAEC related learning activities and resources for practitioners to help prepare individuals for CAEC.
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.
