Abstract:
For decades, California adult education has been developing tools to address how changes in technology in turn change society and therefore learning processes. The focus has been in three areas: (1) infrastructure— resources and access; (2) uses for technology— instructional, assessment, and student information systems; and (3) approaches to creating learning environments— distance learning, professional development, and communication. In the spring of 2021, a team of California adult educators examined the research and shared their practice for offering and greatly expanding high quality distance learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The end result of their work was a brief published by CALPRO that can be found here http://calpro-online.org/documents/CALPRO-Research-Brief-15-508.pdf.

Abstract:
Impactful, sustainable advocacy is built on strong relationships, unified messaging, and compelling stories. Join IACEA, the voice of Illinois Adult Education’s Legislative Awareness Day Committee, to learn about their experience with advocacy that culminated in two high energy Virtual Rallies (one last fall and one this spring) that consistently drew well over 100 student and staff participants from across the state. In this session, presenters will share the steps taken that resulted in these successful virtual rallies including the development of the planning committee, the promotion of the event, the integration of legislator conversations, the creation of student videos, and the inclusion of state-level leadership as presenters. During this interactive session, attendees will be invited and supported to create an easy to implement action plan of their own.

Abstract:
Adult ABE/ESL students often lack the learning strategies necessary to be successful in remote learning environments. Educators can promote students’ engagement and retention in remote learning by embedding resilience-building strategies and self-regulation skills in the curriculum. The webinar introduces an innovative perspective on how to integrate the affective with the cognitive domain in remote instruction. Attendees will contribute expertise, practice skills learned in the webinar, and engage in self-reflection. Original webinar date: July 22, 2021 Webinar recording link: https://youtu.be/2p0kQ9nR72Y
