5 HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT These are curriculum standards that should be used to guide your instruction, identify the skills the learner should know and be able to do at each educational functioning level and in what ways the learner can demonstrate mastery of these skills. This curriculum framework is designed to assist you to help the learner reach the desired goal by providing you a roadmap of what is needed and how to get there. Its intent is to insure some uniformity of program offerings statewide. This document is not all inclusive; you as the instructor have the autonomy to customize your instruction. You are encouraged to continue to conduct research in your subject matter area, evaluate this document as an ongoing work and provide feedback for suggested improvements. CONTENT STANDARDS Standards broadly define what the learner should know or be able to do at each level. It tells what is expected, acceptable and required. Think of the standards as the skills you are trying to get the learner to accomplish before moving to the next level. Standards help instructors and learners develop plans that keep them focused and engaged. INDICATORS Benefits of Standards - Provide a common language for learners, teachers, administrators and the community at large to understand the scope of adult literacy - Enlighten learners of what they need to accomplish at each level to progress through the learning process - Encourage learners to take an active part in their learning, making the classroom setting learnercentered - Assist teachers in planning, teaching and assessing their learners. Indicators describe the knowledge and skill sets the learner needs to develop and achieve to master the standard. They provide greater detail of the specific skill and context for learners to meet the standards. BENCHMARKS (SUB-INDICATORS) Sub-Indicators and Benchmarks, often used interchangeably, are the application of knowledge and skills. They identify the specific performance levels in concrete, observable terms, serve as a checkpoint to monitor progress and assist in development of measurable performance standards and assessments. Georgia Adult Education Curriculum Framework - October Introductory Pages v

6 SAMPLE ACTIVITIES Much care and attention was devoted to identifying activities that could be incorporated in the framework to develop and enhance life skills. Life skills are those real-life situations that the learner will encounter and handle Consumer-, Family-, Health-, and Workplace-Literacy skills. The sample activities provide suggestions of ways to measure the learner s grasp of concepts taught using life skills applications which make the activities learner-centered, realistic possibilities. Since these are suggestions, teacher creativity can expand these activities and create meaningful ways to informally assess the learner s progress and make learning interesting and engaging. Although, not indicated specifically, a variety of informal assessments (tests or quizzes) in addition to activities may be used to determine learner comprehension of the knowledge and skills specified in the standards. PERFORMANCE MASTERY STANDARDS The Performance Mastery Standards section, located at the end of each level, indicates the approved formal assessment used to determine completion and mastery of the requirements of each Educational Functioning Level. After all components of the standards are satisfactorily met, the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) or GED is indicated and the scale scores required for completion (except for ESL and Civics).

7 HOW TO READ THE STANDARDS STANDARDS (What the learner should know or be able to do) READING ABE I The learner will be able to... A.1 Apply recognition and decoding strategies to pronounce and derive the meaning of words. INDICATORS (The knowledge and skills the learner needs to master the standard detail the content standard) A.1.1 Identify upper- and lower-case letters. BENCHMARKS (The application of the knowledge and skills, the level of performance desired to demonstrate grasp of the concept) A.1.1 Read and write names of family members using capital and lower case letters. Standards establish the broad expectation Indicators define the knowledge and skills requirement Benchmarks describe what to look for to determine mastery (grasp) of the standard. SAMPLE ACTIVITIES (Sample applications related to real-life situations) Informal means of assessment Relate instruction to real-life situations & teach life skills.
