Overview

This two-part workshop will first orient you to the Massachusetts ABE Curriculum Frameworks and then demonstrate how to use them to develop a program-wide curriculum in manageable stages. You will learn how to use the frameworks to set standards and benchmarks for each class in your program and/or determine which standards and benchmarks you are already covering. You will also develop a draft action plan to guide curriculum development at your program. There will be time to generate draft materials (both action plan and curriculum documents), share materials with fellow participants, and critique them for revision.
