Abstract:
I-DEA is a flipped/hybrid integrated skills curriculum for lower-level adult English language learners (ELLs). Participants will work in the Canvas learning management system to learn about the design of this free, openly licensed curriculum. In addition to locating the curricular modules and importing these OER materials, participants will interact with both student and instructional materials in order to see how the curriculum can best be implemented and integrated into their own unique instructional settings and courses

“App to Speed” learning circles use free or low-cost online apps designed for low-literacy adult English language learners who may be on waiting lists for classes, or who may want to supplement their classroom English language instruction with online learning in language learning sprints in the times they have available during their busy workdays, evenings and weekends.

Abstract:
Over the past several years, Literacy New York successfully developed and implemented online tutor training in its statewide network of 34 agencies. Building on this success, LNY expanded the training to include teachers of adults who range in grade level equivalency 3 through 8 to better equip educators to meet WIOA requirements. The training includes training in reading, math, English language learning, and employability soft skills. In this session, participants will learn about why the training was developed, the roll out to the network, its effectiveness, and the fundamentals of the expansion. Participants are encouraged to bring their smartphones, tablets, or computers to log in to the training to see first-hand how it works. Participants will also learn how the training is managed and the how it has helped tutor and teacher recruitment, saved money, and removed logistical problems.

Abstract:
Stretched budgets and part-time teachers present challenges for providing meaningful learning experiences that meet the criteria of effective professional development. Yet, part-time teachers, separated by schedules and geography, seek ongoing opportunities to connect with peers and learn collaboratively. This presentation demonstrates how one state used digital tools to engage adult education teachers in meaningful learning experiences. Join this session to learn techniques to overcome barriers to participation in professional development and explore tools for engaging in effective professional development opportunities.

Learning Circles are a low-cost blended learning model for delivering short-term (6-12 week) instruction using trained volunteer facilitators and online courses or learning resources. In this presentation we talked about learning circles offered primarily through libraries, and a new pilot of English language circles offered for immigrants on waiting lists for English classes at five adult basic skills programs in New England.
