Abstract:
An astounding 85% of job success comes from well-developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills). Join Dr. Susan McKee, educational psychologist, to learn simple but effective strategies for soft skills instruction and assessment. Effective soft skills instruction in basic education programs requires adaptable resources, consistent evaluation, and individualized feedback and planning. This workshop will explore simple but effective steps for teaching soft skills concepts in any basic education course. In addition, it will address strategies for soft skills evaluation and for supporting students’ long-term soft skills development. Attendees will also review a sample lesson from Pace’s Life Skills 25 curriculum.

Abstract:
About 59% of adult education students function between 4th and 9th grade. In order to have efficient success with these “middle-level” learners, programs need systems and methods designed specifically for these students. These learners (4th-9th) require a special strategy. Each student requires an effective individualized approach for their specific academic and emotional needs. Instructional systems in the middle levels can impact long-term success by ensuring fluency of basic skills competencies before advancement, developing independence and confidence, and by incorporating time into instruction and assessment. Join this session to explore methods from Pace Learning Systems designed specifically for the middle-level learner since 1977.

Abstract:
In 2015-2016, the LINCS ESL Pro project provided training for teachers and programs serving English language learners in 10 states. Each state configured their professional learning a bit differently, but all used a blended model including one or more face-to-face sessions with online communities of practice, webinars, email, and conference calls. These models allowed subject matter experts, who were mostly many states away, to provide a professional learning experience over an extended period of time. Attend this session to learn how an online community of practice can actually build community, how to deal with many levels of technology skills, and how to build deep foundational knowledge at the outset. Solutions can be applied to student learning as well.
