Describe how the eligible agency will, by July 1, 2016, align its content standards for adult education with State-adopted challenging academic content standards, as adopted under section 1111(b)(1) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 6311(b)(1)).
Current Narrative:
Recent Missouri legislation has required the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop new, Missouri specific state standards and they are still in the process of being developed.
Until Missouri completes new standards, Missouri AEL will continue to use the CCR standards. Professional development delivered in Missouri to Adult Education teachers is based on CCR standards. When new standards are available, professional development will be updated to reflect those standards.
MO AEL Adopted CCR in 2013 and have used OCTAE approved, ESL content standards since 2010.
