Current Narrative:
Effective July 1, 2016, the Louisiana Community and Technical College (LCTCS), WorkReady U (WRU) aligned the adult education content standards with the Louisiana College and Career Readiness Standards and the state-mandated Academic Standards + Grade Level Expectations curriculum for public schools under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended [20 U.S.C. 6311 (b)(1)] through the adoption and implementation of the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) for Adult Education.
