Training and course design for adult educators
S.O.L.V.E.D. helps adult education programs and professional development centers give their instructors training they'll actually use, and courses designed around the way adults learn.

Innovative StrategiesVery helpful to clarify several questions!
Supportive Guidance
The GOALForward series & RLA Toolbox
GOALForward workbooks follow the Integrated Education and Training model: College and Career Readiness Standards, workforce preparation, and workforce training, side by side. Classroom sets come with a free Instructor Companion Book.
The RLA Toolbox gives teachers strategies, worksheets, and scaffolded activities for Reasoning Through Language Arts, aligned to NRS levels.
Questions we hear a lot
Do you work with programs outside Florida?
Yes. Virtual trainings work anywhere, and we travel for in-person sessions.
Can you tailor a training to our program?
Yes. We start by learning about your instructors and learners, then shape the examples, activities, and pacing around them.
One session or a series?
Either one. Many programs start with a single session and add follow-ups so teachers can try strategies in class and come back to talk about what worked.
What does course design include?
Planning, content, activities, assessments, and the instructor materials that go with them. We can build it for your platform or hand it off ready to load.
Do you still sell the workbooks?
Yes. GOALForward and the RLA Toolbox are on the Solutions page, and each book has a "Peek at the book" link so you can look inside first.
How do we get started?
Email or call us. We'll set up a quick conversation about your program and go from there.
