Minnesota FastTRAC–Integrated Instruction and Support
This resource helps practitioners better understand career pathways programs and expand practioners’ professional knowledge.
Minnesota’s FastTRAC approach is designed to help educationally underprepared adults succeed by integrating basic skills education and career-specific training in fields where new skills are in high demand. This series of professional development modules explains how to replicate the model in which an ABE teacher and a college faculty instructor work together in the classroom to make sure that learners can succeed with the college course content. Use this site to explore integrated instruction. Modules 2, 3, 4 and their associated activities in this self-paced tutorial will be helpful in understanding how this model of integrated instruction works.
- Module 2 – Writing Integrated Instruction Course Outcomes
- Module 3 – Sharing the Stage 1: Integrated Instruction Models
- Module 4 – Understanding Shared Assessment
Module completers will explore a model of integrated instruction which is team taught to address ABE and career-specific instruction.
