Abstract:
Computer-assisted Instruction for Work-related Basic Reading and Numeracy includes two short, free, basic reading and numeracy professional development videos for teachers. Students preparing to be nursing assistants are shown in a computer lab using KeyTrain computer-assisted instruction software in an authentic class providing basic reading and numeracy. Interviews provide background on Notre Dame Education Center (NDEC) in Lawrence, Massachusetts, its computer-assisted instruction program, and its related job skills training, work readiness and support services. Computer-assisted instruction coaches discuss the program and how students use the instructional software; and two students discuss how they use computer-assisted instruction at the program and at home. Links to the videos and a document that shows which math and reading skills in the curriculum are used by nursing assistants will be found at http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=61

Adult readers need to be able to read quickly, accurately, and with proper phrasing in order to manage the complexity and quantity of reading material needed on the job or in postsecondary education or training. Poor fluency will impact reading comprehension and can adversely affect students on timed tests. Learn how to use a variety of easy and effective classroom activities to strengthen the reading fluency skills of intermediate readers (4.0-8.9 grade level equivalencies).

Abstract:
In 2014 the Joyce Foundation began a three year study on digital learning to identify which practices and product features might be associated with better outcomes for students and programs. In this webinar, Michael Ormsby, CEO and Dan Griffith, National Sales Manager with Essential Education will examine which features of digital technology as well as instructional practices will lead to significantly better educational outcomes in literacy and numeracy among ABE learners. Against a backdrop of effective blended and distance learning models, the webinar will give adult educators specific tools they can use to accelerate learning and skill acquisition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7D9dJed_Uo&t=31s
