COABE 2021 Conference Presentation: PIAAC Numeracy Skills and Home Skill Use among Adult English Learners

Presenter: Margaret Patterson, Research Allies for Lifelong Learning

Adult English learners typically focus on language-related skills, yet large-scale PIAAC data reveal that many English learners 25 and older also have low numeracy skills. At this session, you can find out how these English learners use numeracy (print and electronic) at home and how numeracy use connects with numeracy skills. Session attendees will collaborate on approaches and take away implications for English learner numeracy instruction aligned with instructional guidance from the PIAAC Numeracy Framework.
