In the wake of COVID-19, adult ESOL learners have had the challenge of adapting to remote learning on their own. Learn how a public charter school in D.C. has met this challenge through scaffolded student learning, teacher training, and differentiated digital literacy instruction. This multi-faceted approach has allowed students to succeed in remote learning this year. The school’s digital literacy focus is also preparing them for hybrid learning in the coming school year.

Abstract:
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, over half of respondents to a national Gallup poll reported not having a quality job, and respondents’ job quality had a strong influence on their quality of life. Decades of stagnant wages, eroding benefits, and declining employment security have left millions of Americans in unstable jobs. Structural inequality has placed a disproportionate burden on workers of color and women, and in turn the economic fragility of these workers’ households has left them bearing overwhelming burdens in the midst of our current health and economic crises. Organizations that educate workers and refer them to jobs are looking for new tools, approaches, and connections as they seek to address the growing challenge of job quality. The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program developed our Job Quality Tools Library to provide actionable tools to help leaders adopt practices to strengthen job quality in their own organizations, in the businesses they work with, and in local labor markets. In this session, we’ll introduce the library, including sharing why and how we developed it, explaining how to navigate it, and providing guidance about how to use it in your work to strengthen jobs and racial equity for adult learners. We’ll focus on tools and approaches that you can put to work immediately as you respond to the current crisis.

Abstract:
This webinar will be two parts: first, explaining trauma and its effects and second, learning what we can do to teach in a more trauma-informed, empathetic way. We’ll discuss what causes trauma and what a traumatized student may look like. We’ll discuss how to make classrooms and instruction more trauma-informed. As teachers, we need to know who our students are, where they come from, and what's going on in their lives. Whether it’s from physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; severe neglect; being a victim of violence or witnessing violence; abusing drugs or alcohol; being in a home where drugs or alcohol is abused; being in a single parent home, whether from divorce, incarceration, or an unwed mother; weather events; or automobile accidents, the effects of trauma greatly affect our lives. Becoming trauma-informed will help us to understand where some of our students are coming from and explain possible causes of behaviors and abilities.
