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:
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a large system with 35 adult prisons, is in the second year of expanding horizons by implementing a large reform effort to base both academic and career technical instruction on evidence-based practices. An important piece of the project is the implementation of a professional learning community at each institution. Professional learning communities have been adopted widely in K12 and more and more in adult education. The corrections environment offers some specific but not insurmountable challenges. Attend this session to hear about the challenges, the successes, and the lessons learned so far.

Abstract:
It is essential to help adult learners build their employability skills, yet sometimes it's hard to find engaging materials to do so. This interactive workshop will offer tools that support the development of skills that are critical to workplace success such as decision making, self-management, working in teams, and problem solving. Participants will experience employability activities as well as receive ideas and materials to use in the classroom. An employability framework, self-appraisal, and sample activities will be provided
