The Canadian Adult Education Credential has been released. Testing centres have stepped forward.  Many provincial and territorial governments have adopted the credential for high school equivalency recognition. Many learning organizations have begun to prep students for the test.  Educational publishers have begun creating learning courses and resources. Practitioners have begun to spread the word and advocate for this springboard to a solution for keeping adult education opportunities and programming vibrant. Most importantly, students have been taking the test and achieving the credential. 

This webinar, presented by Carey Hilgartner and Magdalena Slawinska, will go over many important details, answer participant questions, outline collaboration points, and solicit membership in a foundational learning community of practice.

This credential will be what we make it when we step up to the table together.

Hilgartner Learning is working with the current Foundational Learning Community of Practice to make a web app to assist adult learner connect with and complete the new Canadian Adult Education Credential to achieve high school equivalency as a first step in access to employment and further education.

Success on the CAEC sits firm on the platform of transformative assessment. This base requires a source of valid, reliable, and relevant items to be distributed and shared. The foundation requires collaboration from the community of practice to build, revise, sustain, and own to make it actionable and ongoing.
