Move Ahead with Adult Ed: A campaign toolkit for adult educators.
COABE and NASDAE are joining forces to deploy a campaign toolkit for adult educators.
The purpose of the campaign toolkit is to provide outreach materials and language to help adult education organizations with proactive tools to communicate the value of adult education and how they can support adult learners during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many state directors and local program providers have expressed a need to let students and partner programs know that they are open for business and that they have a variety of ways for students to participate (virtual, face-to-face, or a combination of the two).
