    Abstract:

    LINCS now offers materials created by the ESL Pro project to improve adult ELL instruction in three areas: increasing the rigor of instruction, integrating digital literacy into English language instruction, and connecting adult ESL learners to career pathways. Materials include issue briefs, teacher-focused instructional resources in a digital magazine format, and online learning modules on each of the topics. The roles of both teachers and administrators are addressed in each module. Preview the materials, hear how materials are being used, and consider how they might be used in your program or state.

    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.

    Abstract:

    Do you know who wrote the Federalist Papers? Do you know who was the first Postmaster General of the United States? Can you name two cabinet-level positions in the U.S. Government? Learning Civics is essential for English language learners trying to live, work, and study in the United States. Civics classes can provide learners with the opportunity and information they need to be successful in our competitive society. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn and practice methods for increasing learner retention in ESL Civics and Citizenship courses. Participants will discuss how to design an ESL civics course and what topics to include in the curriculum. Participants will review the skills and vocabulary required to pass the U.S. Citizenship reading, writing, and civics exams. They will examine how to incorporate activities and technology into the classroom that utilize those skills and terms. Participants will also review a multitude of civics print, video, and online resources for instructors and learners. http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/pathways-to-citizenship-8fqq7-db8-f.zip
