    Abstract:

    Computer-assisted Instruction for Work-related Basic Reading and Numeracy includes two short, free, basic reading and numeracy professional development videos for teachers. Students preparing to be nursing assistants are shown in a computer lab using KeyTrain computer-assisted instruction software in an authentic class providing basic reading and numeracy.  Interviews provide background on Notre Dame Education Center (NDEC) in Lawrence, Massachusetts, its computer-assisted instruction program, and its related job skills training, work readiness and support services. Computer-assisted instruction coaches discuss the program and how students use the instructional software; and two students discuss how they use computer-assisted instruction at the program and at home. Links to the videos and a document that shows which math and reading skills in the curriculum are used by nursing assistants will be found at  http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=61
