Abstract:
To prepare adult learners for a future in which technology continuously evolves, as do workplace demands, we need a robust working knowledge of AI literacy, along with the practical resources we can bring straight to learners. A complete look at the concept, and a full toolkit to teach it, will help us take learners beyond navigating specific products and toward a more comprehensive sense of agency and adaptability. In this session, I'll pull together insights from various AI literacy frameworks, a repository of free curricular resources, and practical instructional strategies to equip you with the toolkit needed to help learners question, evaluate, and adapt AI tools for their own goals. You'll leave the session with free resources that you adapt and tailor for any adult ed classroom and, critically, new strategies to move ahead with confidence!

Abstract:
Adult Learners are already encountering AI in job applications, assessments, workplace workflows, and online learning platforms, but nobody's teaching them to ask the right question: not "What can AI do?" but "Should I use it here, and why?" Educators face the same gap.
This session moves beyond AI tool tours and to build judgment skills both you and your learners can apply in real time. We'll work through four essential questions every user should ask before prompting, practice identifying tasks where AI genuinely helps learning versus where it introduces risk or undermines skill-building, and explore how these conversations translate to workplace and postsecondary contexts. You'll leave with a simple decision framework your learners can use, two classroom-ready activities and language for talking about responsible AI with students, colleagues, and administration.

Abstract:
This interactive workshop explores how adult basic education providers can strengthen outcomes by building innovative, results-driven partnerships with their workforce development boards. Through real-world examples and guided discussion, the session highlights how co-enrollment, integrated education and training (IET), pre-apprenticeships, shared data, and braided funding can help workforce development and ABE partners respond to talent shortages while expanding access and equity for job seekers. Attendees will identify common challenges to effective partnerships and learn concrete strategies for overcoming them through trust-building, joint planning, and continuous communication. The workshop emphasizes by positioning ABE programs and workforce development boards not only as referral agencies, but as strategic partners in talent development. Participants will leave with actionable ideas, partnership tools, and next steps they can adapt to their local systems to better serve job seekers, employers, and communities in a rapidly changing economy. Participants will (1) identify effective partnership models between workforce development and adult basic education, including co-enrollment, pre-apprenticeships, and Integrated Education and Training; (2) apply strategies to align goals, data, and resources across systems to address common partnership challenges; and (3) develop actionable next steps to strengthen local collaborations that improve outcomes for jobseekers and employers.
