Abstract:
These three short, free, authentic professional development videos for teachers or tutors draw on five principles of effective vocabulary instruction from the research of Curtis and McKeown, 1987. See http://www.ncsall.net/?id=466, in an article in Focus on Basics, Connecting Research and Practice, Volume 2, Issue A, The nature of vocabulary acquisition. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum.) The five principles are: 1) Students get numerous opportunities to learn a word's meaning; 2) Words are presented in a variety of contexts; 3) Students are asked to process words in active, generative ways; 4) Distinctions as well as similarities among words' meanings are stressed; and 5) improvement is emphasized in students' ability to use words in speaking and writing, as well as to recognize their meanings. The adult reading teacher introduces the theory, and the lessons, and then we see the lessons in progress. The web address for these videos is http://www.mlo ts.org/?page_id=59

Abstract:
Education and lifelong learning are the keys to opportunity for individuals and communities at large. The enactment of the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) has reauthorized educational and workforce development policies. In the next couple of years, WIOA will require a shift in the delivery of adult education literacy instruction and workforce development. Libraries are at the cornerstone of this legislative and are among the most accessible institutions both public and academic libraries reach all populations. Thus, the outreach capabilities that libraries bring to the table make them a crucial partner to assist with the implementation of WIOA core principles. This workshop will provide attendees with the tools to create a sustainable partnership with both pubic libraries and community colleges libraries. Through strong partnerships attendees will be able to accelerate learning and distribute skills and knowledge; and can add depth and breadth the community using legislative set forth under WIOA. This pre-conference will be a mix of facilitated discussions followed by hands-on activities using successful examples of libraries and community-based organizations. Participants will have an opportunity to perform a SWOT analysis of their respective programs and a library. The attendees will not be required to have any prior knowledge of creating partnerships. You will gain new skills to utilize at your respective programs. ATTACHMENTS: Adult Literacy and Libraries Community Partnerships Adult Literacy through Libraries Building a National Movement

Abstract:
An overarching principle of WIOA is that various agencies will collaborate to meet the needs of adults seeking employment, job skills training, basic skills education, High School Equivalency exam preparation, and other services. The ultimate aim is for adults to become part of the workforce. The goal is for people to obtain the services they need in a seamless, not disjointed, process. For example, a worker at an American Job Center should be able to connect a learner with an adult education program, with a minimum of testing and duplication of intake.
