Adapting Study Design to Address Recruitment Challenges

The Teaching Skills That Matter–SkillBlox (TSTM-SkillBlox) instructional support pilot was designed to help adult education teachers integrate instruction aligned with the TSTM framework, a U.S. Department of Education initiative supporting learners’ academic and employment goals. At the center of the pilot was SkillBlox, an emerging digital application that enables teachers to find, organize, and share open educational resources aligned to TSTM skills and topics. Teachers also received professional development webinars and ongoing support to apply TSTM practices in their classrooms. Recruitment targeted teachers in Kentucky, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Washington, across a range of adult basic education, secondary education, and English language programs.
