Where Should I Start?
Initiated and maintained by the American Institutes for Research PIAAC (AIR-PIAAC) team, the Gateway site provides access to U.S. and international resources on the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). Additionally, the Gateway features the latest PIAAC products and data tools from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Although this page categorizes resources based on three audience types, there is something for everyone, including those who don’t identify with one of the audience types. See below for some great ideas about where to start!
