This study for the U.S. Department of Education will identify and examine the effectiveness of specific adult education programs and services.
Literacy and Numeracy
Reading and math skills are critical foundations, yet little is known about the effectiveness of different approaches for teaching these skills. To better inform school administrators' curricula decisions, we have evaluated remedial reading programs, technology-based reading and math programs, reading comprehension curricula, and popular elementary math curricula.
