MoSTEMWINs Adult Learning Academy

As part of the MoSTEMWINs Portal, the Adult Learning Academy (ALA) provides innovative self-paced courses contextualized to the STEM career pathways, enhancing student success as individuals improve their skills in English, math and/or reading.

The Adult Learning Academy (ALA) is one of St. Louis Community College’s most innovative approaches to the redesign of developmental education. Funded through MoSTEMWINs, a Department of Labor TAACCCT grant, the ALA workgroup leveraged the prior efforts of a faculty-led developmental education redesign team which established three guiding principles for advancing the College’s redesign of developmental education:

  • Semesterless/courseless
  • Contextualized/integrated
  • Immersion/higher touch
