PA Adult Education Resources

At PAAER, we support practitioners in their work with learners and partners by offering them accessible training, technical assistance, coaching, and other targeted support.

The Pennsylvania Professional Development System (PDS) is a group of projects that work together to support adult education and family literacy agencies. The overarching goal of the Professional Development System is to impact and improve student outcomes. The PDS supports agencies, administrators, teachers, tutors, student support coordinators, and data management staff in a process of continuous program improvement.
