What kind of assessment do learners receive?
Learners in both adult and youth literacy programs are assessed before beginning a literacy program and at regular intervals during their participation. The assessments help to determine what kind of instruction the learner needs and if they are at the appropriate literacy program. Each literacy program has developed their own assessments based on the needs of the learners in their community and what works best for the literacy program staff. Assessment models include Equipped for the Future, CASAS and TABE. Back to Top Q: What is a literacy professional?
