Abstract:
This workshop makes classroom action research practical and accessible. Formative assessment learning techniques combined with the professional development methods of classroom action research and communities of inquiry provide a mechanism for self-sustained continuing professional development at the local level (Creswell, 2012; Kerka, 2003). This workshop emphasizes collaborating and learning with peers about what happens in the classroom to find ways to make learning more effective and efficient. For adult educators, systemic inquiry and intellectual challenge are powerful sources of motivation, growth, and renewal- (Angelo & Cross, 1993, p.10). When students are participants in, as well as are the focus of, an active system of inquiry and intellectual challenge, they also receive the benefits of motivation, growth, and renewal.

Abstract:
While all programs focus on supporting adult learners and helping students reach real educational goals, sometimes the needs extend beyond what one organization can do. By really assessing and looking within your community, determining what partnerships should look like for your organization, and looking at research opportunities, adult literacy programs can expand their reach, create impact in their communities through being flexible and innovative, and help to bridge the gap between research and practical implementation of adult literacy programs.

Abstract:
With the changes to the GED ® test for 2014, it is more important than ever for adult learners to have strong technology skills. In this session, we will explore two technology tools-”Google Docs and Schoology-”that ABE teachers can easily integrate into reading and writing lessons for intermediate to advanced learners. Ideally, participants will bring their own electronic devices (i.e. Smartphone, tablet, iPad, laptop) and be actively engaged in experiencing and using these technologies. It is best to use the technology as it is being presented. As a group, we will discuss barriers and obstacles, and ways to overcome them.

Abstract:
Data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) shows that adults in the 86 haYe significantly loZer digital skills than adults in other developed nations and implies that library patrons may struggle to use digital library resources. Multnomah County Library and Portland State University are collaborating on a project to assess community members' digital skills using a valid and reliable test created by the Organization for Economic and Cooperative Development (OECD) known as Education and Skills Online (ESO). This session will explore assessment results. Presenters will discuss the ways the team has adapted the ESO assessment tool to suit the needs of the library and the community and what the team has learned so far about how the PSTRE framework relates to library tasks that a typical adult learner may perform to access education and employment opportunities.
