The Common Assessment of Basic Skills tool highlights that task-based learning yields significant outcomes in integrated learning, encompassing essential skills, knowledge,

and behaviours demonstrated through real-life tasks.

The approach emphasizes "task-based" education. This focuses on holistic, integrated tasks, often taught in real-life contexts rather than in isolation, and aims to balance

student needs with curriculum. This method seeks to create a transferable, universal system for learning recognition and accreditation.

Task-based education is the fundamental approach for Ontario's literacy programs, where goals are student-determined. 

CABS 2026 includes a guide for CABS interviews and assessments, skills for coaching learners and indexed activities aligned with the three levels of OALCF.
