Abstract:
Networks for Integrating New Americans, an innovative national initiative, identified, strengthened, and documented place-based models of immigrant integration that other communities can replicate and adapt. It positioned adult education programs as key contributors to local, multi-sector networks which were formed as the primary vehicle for promoting and advancing immigrant integration. The national initiative was led by World Education in partnership with Welcoming America, IMPRINT, and the National Partnership for New Americans which together coached the five networks. The technical assistance was underwritten by the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education at the U.S. Department of Education.

Abstract:
What does a lesson built for student learning look like when learners come to programs with limited or interrupted formal education? Students who lack home language literacy and exposure to a formal classroom setting need explicit training about "classroom culture." Instructors need to use systematic scaffolding and other research-based techniques to effectively equip learners with transferrable skills for tomorrow's workforce and civic engagement.

Abstract:
It's all about the Support Services: Case Management Services for the 21st century adult education and workforce development programs. New York State Adult Education Department offers a unique approach to literacy development through its Literacy Zones, an initiative spearheaded by the New York State Board of Regents and the State Education Department to bridge the achievement gap and provide a systemic focus on literacy from birth to adulthood. Adult Education students who visit any of the 51 Literacy Zones throughout New York State benefit from adult education classes, self-directed learning technologies, and crucial case management support that helps overcome barriers due to inadequate housing, healthcare, financial resources, and opportunities for employment. Providers will gain an understanding of the process of case management as a service delivery model and how it differs from other social work approaches. This process includes outreach, intake and eligibility determination, assessment, education service plan, documentation and record-keeping, and outcomes evaluation. They will understand how some social workers identify as case managers when engaging in such work. ATTACHMENTS: Its All About the Support Services2

Abstract:
This curriculum guide has been developed for tutors as well as instructors of adult refugee and immigrant ESL students who have no or limited literacy skills in their first language. The principles and strategies used in this guide can also be used for ESL students who have low or some literacy in their native language. The main focus of the guide is to develop initial English literacy skills in basic reading and writing, built upon listening and speaking skills. The students will be able to function with some difficulty in simple situations related to immediate needs, and to handle tasks including routine, entry-level jobs that involve only the most basic English communication skills. In this guide, the terms preliterate and non-literate learners are used interchangeably to mean students who have no formal literacy education in their native language.

Abstract:
While all programs focus on supporting adult learners and helping students reach real educational goals, sometimes the needs extend beyond what one organization can do. By really assessing and looking within your community, determining what partnerships should look like for your organization, and looking at research opportunities, adult literacy programs can expand their reach, create impact in their communities through being flexible and innovative, and help to bridge the gap between research and practical implementation of adult literacy programs.
