Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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. For example, what can CE administrators due to improve their education/reentry programs? What strategies can be used to encourage more educational funding at the local and state level? Are participants aware of programs that use technology to enhance instruction?

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.

Abstract:
COABE and NASDAE are joining forces to deploy a campaign toolkit for adult educators. The purpose of the campaign toolkit is to provide outreach materials and language to help adult education organizations with proactive tools to communicate the value of adult education and how they can support adult learners during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many state directors and local program providers have expressed a need to let students and partner programs know that they are open for business and that they have a variety of ways for students to participate (virtual, face-to-face, or a combination of the two). This webinar will showcase the toolkit which includes a user manual on how to edit/modify/adapt numerous campaign tools.

Abstract:
Adult Educators across the country did some amazing work trying to meet the needs of their learners in response to COVID-19. For most of us, that was Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). We’ve had time to reflect, and we understand that ERT is something different than distance learning. Going forward, we need to be more prepared, more intentional, and more comfortable. We need a reboot! This webinar highlights some national initiatives, resources, and tools that adult educators can use to enhance their digital literacy programming and services anytime, but especially in times such as these.
