21 CLEO Project Research:
Learning for Future Possibilities |
|
|---|
|
The 21 CLEO research team has been crafting personas of working learners. Based on interview data, these personas help us better understand the learners and educational opportunities supported by employers. Our research recently pointed to the need to create one more persona, “learning for future possibilities”. We introduce Naomi in this blog post; she’s a front-line manager who relishes opportunities to engage in employer-supported education, not for any specifically articulated purpose or to meet a specific goal, but as a way to prepare for an undetermined future possibility. |

World Education has worked to identify models, strategies, and resources for adult ESOL instruction and support, as well as key considerations in the design and scaling of remote programs. Learn about those findings, innovative remote ESOL program models, and promising practices during the official launch for the results of this descriptive research this Friday, June 18th at 1PM EST. |

World Education Announces New Global
Track & Trace Project to Get Textbooks to Children |
|
|---|
|
We are pleased to announce a new project funded by the World Bank to ensure books and other learning materials reach children and families, particularly those who live in hard-to-reach places. The Read@Home project will help countries strengthen their monitoring systems to improve textbook distribution to schools and homes. Cameroon, El Salvador, Niger, Senegal, Sudan will benefit from the Track and Trace Read@Home project by contextually adapting these approaches and building robust supply chain monitoring systems to make sure textbooks reach those most in need. World Education will work with partner John Snow, Inc. to develop a user-friendly guide outlining best practices for tracking textbooks in low and middle-income countries, where high-quality educational materials can be hard to come by for students and their families.

Have you heard about HyFlex courses? They offer instruction in multiple yet equivalent formats (in-person, synchronous online, and asynchronous) so that learners can engage in the manner that best supports their persistence. Brian Beatty’s 2019 book,
Hybrid-Flexible Course Design: Implementing Student-Directed Hybrid Classes provides readers with strategies, methods, and case stories related to Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) course design so that they (you!) may make informed and thoughtful decisions whether HyFlex courses are a suitable option. As programs contemplate how to sustain the momentum of innovations from the pandemic, it’s worth considering the HyFlex model.
