    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

    Abstract:

    In order to complete a Reasoning Through Language Arts extended response essay, students are expected to analyze two viewpoints regarding a topic of debate. The document titled “Reasoning Through Language Arts Essay Packet” provides a detailed explanation of a suggested format for a compare-contrast style essay, an essay writing formula, a six-step pre-writing form, a useful terminology and sample topic sentences document, an essay evaluation form, and a number of tips and suggestions for writing a compare and contrast style essay. There are several ways in which the Extended Response Essay Packet exercises can be used. With a little initial guidance, students with more advanced writing skills can review the information in the writing packet and complete the accompanying exercises independently. However, beginning writers require more direct instruction, which can be provided one-on-one or through whole-group instruction.
