Contextualized Curriculum for Adult Learners in Math and Literacy

EDC and the Massachusetts Community Colleges & Workforce Development Transformation Agenda (MCCWDTA) are working to transform developmental and adult basic education. This website includes curriculum modules targeting core topics in mathematics and literacy for three key industries: health care, advanced manufacturing, and information technology. It also provides professional development resources and an online community to support instructors and program leaders as they integrate the contextualized curriculum into their courses and programs.
