Massachusetts adult educators are fortunate to work in one of the nation’s few states that offer an Adult Basic Education teaching license. The process of pursuing the ABE License provides adult educators with tools and learning to strengthen their instruction across the professional standards. The Program Support PD Center offers customized coaching in monthly cohort meetings to help license-seekers develop portfolios for submission on the required ABE professional standards:

• Understanding the Adult Learner
• Diversity and Equity
• Instructional Design and Teaching Approaches
• Facilitating the Adult Learning Environment
• Learner Assessment and Evaluation
• Professionalism/Continuing Education

Four cohorts currently meet in Holyoke, Boston, Worcester, and New Bedford, and we will be hosting a round of statewide infosessions in the spring for those who would like to learn more. Interested? Please contact Alexandra_papagno@worlded.org.
