Abstract:
In order to complete a Reasoning Through Language Arts extended response essay, students are expected to analyze two viewpoints regarding a topic of debate. The document titled “Reasoning Through Language Arts Essay Packet” provides a detailed explanation of a suggested format for a compare-contrast style essay, an essay writing formula, a six-step pre-writing form, a useful terminology and sample topic sentences document, an essay evaluation form, and a number of tips and suggestions for writing a compare and contrast style essay. There are several ways in which the Extended Response Essay Packet exercises can be used. With a little initial guidance, students with more advanced writing skills can review the information in the writing packet and complete the accompanying exercises independently. However, beginning writers require more direct instruction, which can be provided one-on-one or through whole-group instruction.You must be logged in to download this resource.

Abstract:
An astounding 85% of job success comes from well-developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills). Join Dr. Susan McKee, educational psychologist, to learn simple but effective strategies for soft skills instruction and assessment. Effective soft skills instruction in basic education programs requires adaptable resources, consistent evaluation, and individualized feedback and planning. This workshop will explore simple but effective steps for teaching soft skills concepts in any basic education course. In addition, it will address strategies for soft skills evaluation and for supporting students’ long-term soft skills development. Attendees will also review a sample lesson from Pace’s Life Skills 25 curriculum.

Abstract:
About 59% of adult education students function between 4th and 9th grade. In order to have efficient success with these “middle-level” learners, programs need systems and methods designed specifically for these students. These learners (4th-9th) require a special strategy. Each student requires an effective individualized approach for their specific academic and emotional needs. Instructional systems in the middle levels can impact long-term success by ensuring fluency of basic skills competencies before advancement, developing independence and confidence, and by incorporating time into instruction and assessment. Join this session to explore methods from Pace Learning Systems designed specifically for the middle-level learner since 1977.
