As one of the fastest growing companies on earth, Amazon has made it a priority to offer quality entry-level positions that can lead to either a career in management, or participation in our tuition pre-payment program for a certification or associate’s degree. To demonstrate our commitment to our hourly workforce, we recently increased our minimum wage to $15 per hour for all entry-level positions across the country, irrespective of location. Whether your students are looking for a long-term career or just to earn extra money, we offer full-time, part-time, seasonal and flexible schedules for a variety of jobs in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Our basic hiring requirements are only to be at least 18 years old and have a GED or equivalent.

If you have ever worked with an I-BEST (Integrated Basic Education Skills Training) program, you will know that I-BEST students fast track through both GED® testing and skills training through this nationally recognized instructional model. I-BEST students are quicker than their traditionally enrolled contemporaries to improve their basic skills in reading, writing, and math, complete their GED exam, and arrive at a career entry point. The downside to I-BEST is that it’s expensive. Heather has taught 4 I-BEST programs and has come to realize that there are ways to replicate components of I-BEST at very low or no additional cost to your program. This webinar will look at how, by making a few simple changes, we can help our traditionally enrolled students also get the best that our programs can offer.

Abstract:
Planning rigorous and relevant lessons to help adult English learners achieve their goals includes correlating instruction to the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) for Adult Education (AIR, 2016). The standards provide a scaffolded approach to meeting the College and Career Readiness Standards, but are also essential for English learners focused on civic engagement and family advocacy. This webinar guides participants through the essential elements of ELPS-aligned lessons using content and themes that work across proficiency levels. By the end of this webinar, participants will be prepared to launch their own exploration of the ELP standards and be familiar with an instructional planning process that supports their English learners' academic, workplace, parenting, and civic goals.
