In the wake of COVID-19, adult ESOL learners have had the challenge of adapting to remote learning on their own. Learn how a public charter school in D.C. has met this challenge through scaffolded student learning, teacher training, and differentiated digital literacy instruction. This multi-faceted approach has allowed students to succeed in remote learning this year. The school’s digital literacy focus is also preparing them for hybrid learning in the coming school year.

Abstract:
Skills integration is not a new concept; however, the practice has new focus after WIOA legislation changed requirements for its government-funded programs. Currently, those programs are required to implement Integrated Education and Training (IET) to accelerate learning and place native and non-native speakers into jobs earlier and better prepared than before. This webinar will define WIOA expectations, evaluate five models that meet those expectations, and explore instructional strategies and resources to make it all happen.

Abstract:
The pandemic has made it clear that high-quality, virtual learning is now a necessity, and it has highlighted the need to address issues of access and equity, especially with chronically underserved populations. While there is a national focus on apprenticeship and other workforce development programs, they have too often left English language learners behind. Come join this webinar to learn how to create English language onramps for existing job skills programs, effectively integrating employment and training programs for non-native speakers entering healthcare, manufacturing, food and beverage, and other in-demand career fields. Drawing on decades of research and experience in the fields of adult learning, immigrant integration, and workforce training, this webinar will offer relevant, practical advice to organizations looking to quickly and effectively upskill and reskill English learners with the tools they need for career development and economic mobility.
