Abstract:
Out-of-school youth who are not engaged in school or employment are more likely to engage in destructive behaviors and less likely to be able to support themselves financially. Preparing out-of-school youth for a successful transition to the workforce is essential to ensuring a successful transition to employment and financial stability. Developing a work readiness program for this population can help to ensure workplace success. This webinar discussion will share strategies for infusing work skills into programs for out-of-school youth. Through an interactive webinar discussion, participants will learn about challenges and strategies as well as discuss cultural and economic barriers and implications.

Abstract:
Planning rigorous and relevant lessons to help adult English learners achieve their goals includes correlating instruction to the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) for Adult Education (AIR, 2016). The standards provide a scaffolded approach to meeting the College and Career Readiness Standards, but are also essential for English learners focused on civic engagement and family advocacy. This webinar guides participants through the essential elements of ELPS-aligned lessons using content and themes that work across proficiency levels. By the end of this webinar, participants will be prepared to launch their own exploration of the ELP standards and be familiar with an instructional planning process that supports their English learners' academic, workplace, parenting, and civic goals.

Abstract:
Recent research has demonstrated that adult language learners work best when their instruction is personalized, relevant to their real-world needs, and tailored to their interests and motivations; unfortunately, most traditional English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are not designed this way. This webinar will walk program administrators and teachers through how to conduct a language needs analysis for their non-native English speakers and then how to use the results to design innovative, forward-thinking programs that integrate language skills with skills development in order to improve outcomes for English Language Learners (ELLs). Based on recent empirical research in the fields of second language acquisition and technology-enabled instruction, practical recommendations for building and measuring an effective task-based language learning program will be reviewed.

Abstract:
Rarely in AE are emotions or traumas discussed. Yet, emotions and trauma have a major impact on how students learn. Join this engaging, 2-part webinar to see why emotions are the key to learning, how emotions and trauma keep students from learning, why students have major roles in their knowledge and skills, and what learning challenges AE students have that, if not identified and addressed, will perpetuate negative feelings about themselves and school. Four simple techniques will be offered in Part 2 that educators can use with AE students. These simple strategies can both change student success and attune teachers to what outside issues might be keeping students from learning!
