Language Lifts to Help Them Soar

Abstract: Planning rigorous and relevant lessons to help adult English learners achieve their goals includes correlating instruction to the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) for Adult Education (AIR, 2016). The standards provide a scaffolded approach to meeting the College and Career Readiness Standards, but are also essential for English learners focused on civic engagement and family advocacy. This webinar guides participants through the essential elements of ELPS-aligned lessons using content and themes that work across proficiency levels. By the end of this webinar, participants will be prepared to launch their own exploration of the ELP standards and be familiar with an instructional planning process that supports their English learners' academic, workplace, parenting, and civic goals.
