A Message to Education and Workforce Professionals

From the President of CASAS, Patricia Rickard
In its thirty-eight year history, the mission of CASAS has always focused on our efforts to assist
adults in attaining the basic literacy skills necessary to function effectively on the job, in the
community, and in the family. The goal of CASAS is to deliver superior assessment, curriculum
management, and evaluation systems that meet workplace, program, and learner needs.
Key to meeting that goal is ensuring that adults achieve higher educational levels so they are
able to obtain better employment and serve their communities and families more successfully.
CASAS President Educators and workforce professionals know all too well that level of education is a key social
Patricia Rickard mobility factor and strongly relates to level of income. Adult education is that crucial link to higher
education and increased income, and CASAS is here to help. Whether your program reports
data to the U.S. Department of Education through NRS, to state and local policymakers, or
uses CASAS for a variety of other purposes, learners enrolled in programs using key elements
of CASAS show significant skill gains and consistently excel on other quantifiable program
performance measures.
CASAS holds its mission to the highest standards. We maintain a highly experienced and helpful
staff to assist you in implementing a standardized assessment and accountability system to
collect, process, analyze and report data and performance outcomes – fulfilling the reporting
requirements that you need to meet.

National External Diploma Program® (NEDP)

The National External Diploma Program is a web-based applied performance assessment system that allows adults
and out of school youth to demonstrate their high school level skills in a series of simulations that parallel adult work
and life activities. Performance tasks are cross-walked to College and Career Readiness Standards.
NEDP uses a criterion of excellence to evaluate mastery of skills, rather than comparison to others. Skills acquired
include a combination of basic academic, critical thinking, digital literacy, and self-management skills.
NEDP includes competencies in using resources and information and acquiring other skills necessary for successful
transition to postsecondary education, training, or employment. NEDP includes 10 competency content areas:
Communication and Media Literacy, Applied Math/Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology, Civic
Literacy and Community Participation, Consumer Awareness and Financial Literacy, Cultural Literacy, Geography and
History, Health Literacy, Science, and Twenty-First Century Workplace.
NEDP is an ideal solution for WIOA partners looking to develop an integrated education (IE) and training program.
The College and Career Competency (CCC) values industry certifications and helps WIOA partners satisfy common
measures of employment, including employment retention and/or advancement in today’s labor market.
NEDP Phases
NEDP participants go through these phases:
1. Intake, Self-Assessments and Initial Screening
2. Diagnostic Tests in Reading, Math and Writing to determine
readiness for Generalized Assessment
3. Generalized Assessment in 10 Competency Content Areas
and CCC
4. Post-Task Assessment
5. Portfolio Review
