The CUNY Common Core Initiative for Adults
Preparing Students for the New High School Equivalency Credential
Professional Development for adult education teachers in the Common Core Era
Who We Are
The Common Core Standards, designed to promote career and college readiness, have been adopted in over 40 states across the U.S., including New York. NYS Department of Education has announced its intention to have all adult education instruction and any high school equivalency assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards by 2017. To meet these standards, students and teachers will need to begin working now to develop significantly higher math, reading and writing skills, and expand their capacities to comprehend science and social studies texts.
To help teachers and students prepare to meet the new standards, the Booth Ferris Foundation of New York City has funded the professional development team at CUNY's Adult Language and Literacy Program to provide professional development support to New York City adult education teachers across the city.
Three Supports
The CUNY CCI website for adult education teachers and students. The website will include information about the Common Core Learning Standards, updates on the TASC (the new high school equivalency test for NY), updates on the new 2014 GED(R) exam, book blogs, teaching resources and helpful links.
- Professional Development Seminars
CUNY CCI will offer a series of free seminars designed to help New York City adult education teachers guide and support students as they acquire the reading, writing and math skills needed to align instruction with the Common Core.
CUNY CCI will establish a resource center of curricula and student reading materials in science and social studies. Curricula will demonstrate teaching practices focused on comprehending complex text, evaluating a writer’s claims, and developing flexible problem solving skills.
