TABE case studies
TABE · Put your knowledge to work in context.
TABE is a family of adult basic and secondary education assessments published by Data Recognition Corporation (DRC). It is an assessment system, not a license or certificate: adult education programs, workforce agencies, and employers use it to place learners at the right instructional level, measure skill gains, and - according to the publisher - support decisions about hiring, training, and employee advancement. The core subject areas are Reading, Mathematics, and Language. TABE 13&14 is built around College and Career Readiness (CCR) requirements and reports performance from the most basic skill levels through college-level work. The TABE case studies are 5 cases and about 2,819 words.
