Abstract:
This webinar examines federal policy affecting adult education, including the Education–Labor partnership, America’s Talent Strategy, proposed changes to EDGAR, and opportunities under TEGL 05-25. Participants will explore how WIOA planning and partnerships can connect adult learners with employment services, vocational rehabilitation, Registered Apprenticeship, and postsecondary training. Practical examples will illustrate how Integrated Education and Training (IET), Workforce Pell, and Ability to Benefit can support career pathways, with attention to partner responsibilities, funding requirements, and measurable learner outcomes.

Abstract:
Adult literacy instructors are encouraged to implement evidence-based best practices; however, many instructors are not made aware of what evidence-based best practices are, and they are not provided with clear strategies for implementing them. This webinar will introduce 10 research-based practices, the source of the research, the rationale for the strategies, and examples of how instructors and administrators can implement those practices.

Abstract:
AI: The Thought Partner You Never Knew You Needed offers a practical, human-centered approach to prompt engineering through an engaging, hands-on learning experience. In this session, teachers won’t just watch AI work—they’ll actively experiment with it, generating differentiated lesson plans, contextualized workforce activities, multilingual scaffolds, visual‑cue materials, and math‑infused financial literacy content. Participants will practice a flexible prompt framework that sharpens precision, speeds up planning, and expands accessibility for ABE, ESL, and workforce learners. A central element of the session is coaching learners: educators will practice how to help students use AI as an active thought partner, supporting their learning, decision‑making, and workforce preparation with greater independence. Attendees will walk away with adaptable workflows, classroom‑ready prompt templates, and strategies that strengthen learner confidence, agency, and digital fluency.

Abstract:
Most prompt engineering training isn’t designed around the realities of adult education programs. This session introduces CRAFT — Context, Role, Aim, Format, and Tailoring — a practical five-part framework I use in generative AI professional development for adult education professionals.
Using real examples from both instruction and program operations, participants will learn to build stronger prompts for lesson planning, differentiation, ESOL materials, communications, administrative tasks, and other everyday needs. The session will also introduce easy and effective techniques for improving AI-generated results, as well as a more advanced approach for tackling complex tasks. Participants will practice using a simple worksheet and leave with a repeatable framework and practical strategies they can use right away.

Abstract:
This session will share how adult education program teachers and administrators can use AI to reach a greater impact with limited time, staffing, and resources. Participants will learn how to identify the AI use cases most likely to improve learner and program outcomes, reduce rework by giving AI better context from the beginning, determine what information should and should not be provided to an AI system, and measure whether an AI-supported process is producing enough value to continue. Practical examples will include: ● Instruction and educator preparation ● Learner practice using institutionally approved AI tools ● Workforce and career preparation ● Program administration ● Finding and prioritizing funding opportunities ● Program planning and communication. Throughout the session, participants will use a common set of questions to evaluate each potential AI application.

Abstract:
Adult education administrators balance staff management, data analysis, reporting, grant development, partner communication, program marketing, workforce needs, and organizational leadership. This practical session will demonstrate how AI can reduce routine administrative work while strengthening program planning and communication. Examples will include improving reports, analyzing program information, developing marketing materials and presentations, researching funding opportunities, strengthening grant narratives, creating employer outreach, supporting staff development, and turning ideas into actionable plans.
Focused on practical application rather than theory, the session will explore what adult education administrators can accomplish with AI immediately. Participants will learn effective prompts and workflows for common administrative tasks while establishing appropriate guardrails for accuracy, privacy, ethical use, and professional responsibility. They will leave with practical examples and adaptable strategies to use within their own programs.

Abstract:
This session explores how administrators can use AI to build simple, custom systems with familiar platforms such as Google Sheets and Google Forms. Participants will see examples that help staff coordinate services, monitor learner progress, identify follow-up needs, and make more informed decisions about scheduling, staffing, and program capacity. The session also examines where these approaches add value, their limitations, and what responsible implementation requires.
