Abstract	Ways to integrate the four streams of the Certificates in General Education for Adults (CGEA) are presented in this document. The four streams of Australia's CGEAs are as follows: reading and writing, oral communication, numeracy and mathematics, and general curriculum options. This guide notes that the CGEA aims to promote a holistic approach to teaching and learning. Level one and two are particularly suited to an integrated approach. At higher levels, independent research projects offer a way to integrate streams. Teachers do not need to devise separate assessment tasks for each stream; they can also be integrated. A reporting system should be planned so competencies are recorded as they are achieved. An example is provided of choosing a theme of study to integrate the CGEA streams. Six tasks/activities relevant to the theme--food--are correlated to integrated learning activities in each CGEA stream. A second example provides an integrated focus in a vocational setting. A diagram illustrates a short course designed to accommodate the push towards vocational education in a correctional setting. The course aims to inform students of occupational health and safety issues before starting work in the prison industries. Integrating learning activities are listed for three CGEA streams. A third example provides a model to plan integrated study programs. In this wheel model, the theme--trees--is placed in the center and the project works through the general curriculum options stream before expanding into the remaining streams. (YLB)
