    Abstract:

    The College of Southern Idaho College and Career Readiness Adult Basic Education program uses the checklist with new employees so that there is a common set of protocols followed by all participants. There are two tabs in the attached Excel workbook. One checklist is for instructors; one is for Intake Office Specialists. The checklist can be modified to address the needs of various employees. Mentors are assigned new instructors (mentees) and engage with the new instructor throughout the instructional year.

    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.
