Webinar: Using the Hair Issue of
The Change Agent in the Classroom
Friday, April 13, 2018 12-1pm EST
Please join us on Friday, April 13, 2018 at noon for a one-hour webinar on using the "Hair" issue of
The Change Agent in the classroom. The webinar is FREE, but you must register
here.
This webinar will give you an overview of the student writing in this issue, including: working in salons and barbershops, sweet (as well as painful) childhood memories of hair, hair in the context of disease and even war, and the issues that hair raises for women and men and people of all races and ethnicities.
We will also look specifically at the learning activities that accompany the articles to show how you can use this inspiring, engaging, sometimes funny, and always moving topic to teach the College and Career Readiness Standards -- ensuring your students will be excited by the content as well as moving forward with their academic and work goals.

LINCS Has A New Look!
The new look provides a more unified navigation experience across the
main LINCS website and the
LINCS Community. LINCS still functions as normal, but everything looks better! It is also much more mobile friendly. The LINCS Learning Portal will get an update later this year too, so check back for similar improvements.
We really hope you like it – so much that you’ll share it with your two closest colleagues!
World Education, Inc., partners with Manhattan Strategy Group to manage the
LINCS Professional Development Center. The LINCS PD Center provides technical assistance to states’ adult education professional development systems to meet requirements under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
