Join us on Friday, November 12th at 1PM EST, when Jeff Goumas will introduce the EdTech Integration Strategy Toolkit! This new toolkit is full of effective edtech routines rooted in evidence-based strategies, along with over 1,000 curated digital skills learning activities crowdsourced by educators as part of our Spring 2021 EdTech Maker Space. Come hear about ways to use the toolkit and upcoming opportunities for you to contribute to what we hope will be a growing, go-to resource for adult educators. Then, the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) will share the latest updates to the free USA Learns platform, now optimized for mobile users! We'll also learn about how one adult education ESL teacher uses the site with her beginning-level students. Don't miss this session! |

Learning Circles Partner Spotlight:
The Free Library of Philadelphia |
|
|---|
|
World Education’s English Now! project has entered a partnership with the Free Library of Philadelphia. Through its Languages and Learning Center, the library offers local resources for adult learners who are looking to improve their language, literacy, basic education, and world language skills. The Learning Center also offers online courses and tutoring services, and hosts conversation and learning circles. These offerings will serve Philadelphians with intermediate to high levels of English, which is an area identified as lacking these types of local services.

We invite you to participate in the Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) project. DRAW is a new initiative from JFF and World Education, with support from The Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), to better prepare adult education practitioners who support learners that struggle to fully engage in tasks that demand use of digital technologies. Share your insights and expertise on digital skills instruction and needs in this questionnaire and stay informed of other opportunities for participation by visiting the DRAW Project page. |
