Educator Resources
Preparing learners for the new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC)
- Are you preparing adults for the new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC)?
- Do you need to learn more about what’s on the test?
- Want to know more about the skills, knowledge and abilities measured?
We recently released a report and held a presentation that addresses these questions. A small group of researchers and GED instructors did an in-depth analysis of the CAEC sample tests to identify the main changes on the CAEC compared to the GED. We also provide some instructional tips and suggest a few resources to get you started.
We describe three main types of changes within each subject:
- Digital changes and the new online testing platform
- Content changes
- The use of a cognitive complexity framework that emphasizes the application of conceptual knowledge.
The resources provide educators with a thorough overview of the CAEC to help them build their professional knowledge and prepare adult learners to take the test.
