Abstract:
Building pathways to work and academic success requires a solid foundation, wide paths of basic language skills, and narrower paths branching toward learners’ divergent goals. Making instruction relevant for all learners while launching them in many different work and school directions is challenging. How can we help English language learners develop career and academic readiness skills while they explore diverse work interests, employment sectors, and pathways for achieving their goals? And how can we develop general soft skills for employability through the specific functional contexts of the sixteen career pathways and help students develop digital technology skills during their education journey? The presenter will introduce a new course with paving stones for building this path.

Abstract:
Since 2014, the CUNY Adult Literacy/HSE Program has collaborated with the NYS Department of Education to create the NYSED Teacher Leader Initiative. This project has developed a community of teacher leaders across the state, dedicated to improving teaching practice in our field. These teacher leaders bring our training to educators in their regions, and develop resources and projects of their own. This workshop provides an overview and answers questions about the initiative. We'll use the voices of the NYSED Teacher Leaders themselves to reflect on the lessons we've learned about effective, ongoing, and engaging teacher development. This workshop is for teachers, administrators, state education directors - anyone interested in the resources developed and the lessons learned through this initiative. All materials from this workshop are available at bit.ly/COABE2018CUNY

Abstract:
The ability of adult learners to set and pursue lifelong learning goals is affected by a variety of policy decisions made at the federal, state, and local levels. This panel session provided information on the ways that such policy decisions can affect access to adult basic education and ESL; adult secondary education and high school equivalency; workforce skills training; postsecondary education; and family and community learning. Presenters were Judy Mortrude (Center for Law and Social Policy); Tracy Noles (National Center for Families Learning); Amanda Bergson-Shilcock (National Skills Coalition); and Michele Diecuch (ProLiteracy).

Abstract:
While the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) prepare students for academic and workforce success, they provide limited support for students who are not proficient in English and need additional language support. The English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards for Adult Education (AE) can help career and technical education administrators and educators ensure that their English language learners (ELLs) receive the focused and effective instruction they need to meet the CCRS. This session will examine why the ELP standards for AE were developed and how adult education teachers can use them in their classrooms to ensure that ELLs have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
