Preparing learners for the new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC)

The CAEC is a very different test compared to the GED. Preparing learners means educators will need

Time to make the adjustment
A different instructional approach that relies on building content knowledge in both online and offline environments, followed by the development of the digital and test-taking skills needed to demonstrate that knowledge
New resources to support the two-fold instructional approach
Professional training.

Take a look at our resources to find out more about the three main types of changes in the CAEC:

Digital changes with the new online testing platform, test questions and sources to read and interpret
Content changes in reading, writing, science and social studies, including questions without sources (math has fewer changes)
The use of a cognitive complexity framework that emphasizes the application of conceptual knowledge and skills rather than the recall and reproduction of facts.
