Our center provides high-quality professional development and support for ABE programs in Massachusetts on topics related to ELA, such as the CCR Standards; creating curriculum; evidence-based reading instruction, including STAR (Student Achievement in Reading); connecting ELA and literacy with content-area subjects such as science and social studies; and effective teaching in an ELA/content-area classroom.
