Overview

This orientation is intended for all new staff at adult basic education programs funded by the Massachusetts Department of Education. ("New" is defined as having worked in adult basic education in Massachusetts for less than a year.) It is meant to serve as a broad introduction to the field, looking at such topics as the adult learner, adult learning theory, approaches to teaching, curriculum development and assessment, literacy and language acquisition, and an overview of the field. It is therefore NOT a basic course in teaching. This orientation is required for all new staff at DOE-funded adult basic education programs; staff from other programs are also welcomes as space permits.
