Adult and Community Learning Services
Initiatives and Special Services:
The Massachusetts Department of Education funds programs to establish free access to basic adult education services in public school systems, public agencies, and community based organizations across the State.
These services are for residents of Commonwealth age 16 or older. Services are designed to enhance the individuals" literacy skills - their ability to read, write, and speak English and to compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary to function as parents/family members, workers, and members of the community.
Eligible agencies receiving funds from the MADOE are encouraged to address the needs of clients with learning disabilities.
Programs offer activities to prepare students for passing a high school equivalency assessment and moving on to post-high school education or vocational training and/or acquiring or advancing in employment.

Technology
The Massachusetts Department of Education provides primarily state funds to ABE programs to assist educators in making more strategic and effective use of current and emerging technologies.
Upon approval of a local technology plan, the funds help pay for a technology coordinator for each eligible agency and for hardware and software that will enable programs to connect to the System for Managing Accountability and Results Through Technology (SMARTT).
This system is currently being developed for programs to submit comprehensive error-free statistical data on performance directly to the Department via the Internet.
