WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
SESSION 1:
HANDS ON LEARNING: CREATING TOOLS AND MANIPULATIVES FOR ESL: Make ESL
fun and interactive for students. This workshop explores and create
hands-on tools, games, and activities to engage ESL students and
promote confidence. A list of easy-to-make and affordable ESL and
math tools used in the workshop can be adapted for varying English
levels and provides new opportunities for hands-on learning.
WORKING WITH ADULT LEARNERS: in this training participants will
identify, discuss and utilize strategies that facilitate learning and
persevering in adult education.
ESOL TEACHING TECHNIQUES: Learn techniques and activities for teaching
English language learners, including those who have no English
ability.
PANEL DISCUSSION: WORKING WITH ADULT LEARNERS FROM THE VOLUNTEER
PERSPECTIVE: Are you considering working with adult learners or
transitioning into a different area of adult education? Engage and
learn from a panel of experienced volunteers working with diverse
adult learners with unique needs.
SESSION 2:
ORGANIZING & ADVOCACY: IMMIGRANT RIGHTS AND BEYOND: Gain awareness of
the current issues facing immigrants and refugees and what you can do
in the classroom to increase advocacy and civic engagement in the
communities we serve. This session digs into strategy development for
advocacy campaigns, ensuring active roles for low-income and people of
color residents through organizing, and the use of tools to assess and
cultivate issue development and advocacy strategy. Attendees will have
an opportunity to design their own advocacy campaigns and lesson plans
on issues important to them.
PREPARING FOR THE U.S. CITIZENSHIP INTERVIEW: This workshop will
provide an overview of the U.S. Citizenship Interview process and some
helpful steps for preparation. We will provide some useful handouts
and resources and some ideas on relevant English Language Learning.
SUPPORTING RE-ENTRY: Recent research indicates that up to two-thirds
of released prisoners are rearrested within three years of release and
more than a million children have a parent in prison. Men and women
enter U.S. prisons with limited work experience, limited education,
and limited vocational skills. Many people also enter U.S. prisons
with health-related issues ranging from mental health needs to
substance abuse histories. When they leave prison, these challenges
often remain and impact not only the individuals, but also
neighborhoods, families, and society at large. Without skills and
health care, many people will return to prison within 3 years of
release. This presentation addresses the challenges facing people
leaving incarceration with a Q&A/discussion to follow.
ESOL LESSON PLANNING: Learn how to plan lessons for English language
learners and assess what your students know. Get tips on how to be
culturally sensitive and how to differentiate instruction for various
levels.
