Making the Most of ESL Pro Resources to Improve Adult ESL Instruction
October 13, 2016
Facilitated by Mariann Fedele-McLeod (Project Director, LINCS ESL Pro), this session will introduce the three suites of new evidence-based resources created as part of the LINCS ESL Pro project. The project conducted by the American Institutes for Research was funded by OCTAE. Each suite addresses an important topic associated with instruction for Adult ELLs: 1) Meeting the Language Needs of Today's English Language Learners 2) Integrating Digital Literacy into English Language Instruction 3) Preparing English Learners for Work and Career Pathways The suites each include an issue brief, online learning modules, and a companion learning resource. The resources are designed as professional development tools that can be used for groups of educators working collaboratively, or for independent study. These resources, which include customization features, are intended to build the capacity of teachers, programs, and states to improve and sustain the effectiveness of adult ELL instruction. We will offer examples of effective professional development that utilizes the resources learned through a multi-state technical assistance effort.
