What is the Global Scale of English?
text
The Global Scale of English (GSE) is a 10–90 measurement framework that runs through every Pearson English product — courseware, tests, and teacher professional development. For US adult-ed buyers, it maps to NRS Educational Functioning Levels, the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), CASAS, and ELP and CCR Standards. One published scale, so progress between products is visible and reportable.
Does Pearson ELL align with WIOA Title II, NRS, and CASAS?
text
Yes. Our US adult-ed courseware aligns to NRS Educational Functioning Levels, ELP and CCR Standards, and supports CASAS-aligned reporting. GSE acts as the bridge, so you get the funder documentation you need without rebuilding your curriculum from scratch.
Do you offer citizenship and civics curricula?
text
Yes. Voices of Freedom and Basic Civics for US Citizenship are built for IELCE programs funded under WIOA Title II.
Where can I find teacher training and community?
text
The Educator Excellence Hub brings together professional development, the Pearson English Language Community, and classroom resources — all built to add to your practice, not replace it.
Key points to consider
theme-white-surface-neutral
Measurement
Is the framework portable?
The GSE measures English on a 10–90 granular scale and maps to CEFR, NRS, and CASAS. One published scale across products.
Compliance
Does it support funding accountability?
Our adult education portfolio aligns to WIOA Title II, NRS, CASAS, and ELP and CCR Standards.
Workflow
Will it fit our existing tools?
Our digital platforms support LTI 1.3 with Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle from day one.
Practice
What does it add to teaching?
Educator Excellence is additive professional development, not corrective. You keep your practice; we bring training, community, and classroom tools that fit around it.
