Abstract:
Helping students reach their goals is the mission of adult education. One critical component is to reassure students that they are making progress learning and to document their achievement of Measurable Skill Gains (MSGs), such as making assessment gains. It is now far easier than ever before to improve the chances for students to make MSGs by leveraging technology. In this webinar, learn how programs can use CASAS’ impressive features to easily access assessment results that can be quickly used to determine the BurlingtonEnglish instruction to emphasize. Teachers’ lives have never been easier! This streamlined approach also provides the benefit of enhancing data accuracy and completeness for reporting purposes, as well as improving the chances that students eligible to be tested won’t be missed.

How do we teach employability skills effectively and measure the growth and development of these skills? When students choose an industry of interest to them and are provided with experiential learning activities, the learning is more meaningful, specific and applicable and their ability to articulate learning becomes more natural. Explore the advantages of project-based learning, scenario-driven e-modules, and authentic assessment via the constructs of portfolio development as we contextualize learning around career readiness skills.

This webinar will bring awareness to key adult educators and correctional professionals regarding the power of correctional education and actions that could be taken to improve the amount and quality of education programs behind bars. It will be a presentation and discussion of How to Unlock the Power of Prison Education written by Stephen Steurer, published by Center for Human Capital and Education which describes the current state of education in US prisons, the major issues limiting the implementation and growth of correctional education and specific recommendations to research value and impact of correctional education, professional skills for teacher training and specific amendments to existing federal legislation to encourage more and better programs. Included in the discussion will be specific implications for expanding education programs in prisons and jails.

Abstract:
In this current climate of health, economic and social unrest, new approaches for creating a greater abundance of effective and affordable career pathways for low-income learners are more important than ever. Two years ago, ten community-based teams embarked on a journey to do just that! They participated in the Minds that Move Us (MTMU) Adult Career Pathways Design Challenge, which focused on the creation of bold, sustainable career pathways approaches for low-income adults (aged 26+) for a chance to win $100,000 in prize money. Fast forward to present day, the ten teams have rich and timely lessons that are shared in The MTMU Toolkit: A Collection of Place-Based Solutions for Future Adult Career Pathways Models. During this engaging panel discussion, you’ll hear from teams that participated in the challenge and the project’s key partners—IEL, COABE, and NASDAE—as they discuss the toolkit’s key principles for being adaptable, removing barriers and maximizing potential to innovate within adult career pathways.
