Abstract:
An innovative, blended learning model for adults, learning circles use online learning resources together with teacher- or volunteer-facilitated face-to-face sessions to support peer learning. We will discuss the range of learning circles and ways to use them in adult basic skills education. Learning circles have been piloted and customized for adult ESOL/ESL programs that want to reduce waiting lists or supplement face-to-face learning. In this session you will learn about the range of learning circles, how they have been used by adult ESL/ESOL programs, and about the English Now! Model, funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, piloted by World Education and five ESOL programs in New England and is now being scaled up nationally.

Abstract:
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a large system with 36 adult prisons, is in the second year of unmasking the potential of inmates by initiating a large reform effort to base both academic and career technical instruction on evidence-based practices. An important piece of the project is the implementation and support of a professional learning community (PLC) at each institution. Administrators play an indispensable role in the success of PLCs, supporting distributive leadership and offering both tight and loose control over various aspects of PLC practice. The corrections environment offers some specific but not insurmountable challenges for administrators. Attend this session to hear about ways administrators can support the PLC process, helping it flourish and avoiding some common mistakes.

Abstract:
New Mexico ranks among the worst in the nation in educational attainment, poverty, violence, substance abuse, and suicide. With the advent of the WIOA legislation, a group of New Mexico adult education (AE) practitioners rallied to the call of building career pathways out of poverty and launched a radically innovative professional development initiative for elevating New Mexico to stand among our nation's top performers. Our C3 Initiative develops AE programs from "the inside out" to build Collaborations, Competency-Based Education, and Career Pathways programming. Design components include a three-year program commitment, a decision maker with two teachers from each program working for integrated change, program accountability with deliverables and increased responsibility, and the creation of a statewide professional learning community with a 33-week research-to-practice online curriculum. Our session shares knowledge and tools for supporting adult educators to unmask our brilliance and become leaders in the national career pathways movement.

These protocols are shared with all instructors to develop continuity when sharing strong performance expectations with students. They are part of our mentoring process, but are equally valuable to share with experienced staff members.
