Hi Barbara,

 

ESOL programs have been piloting the curriculum. We've asked for feedback on
the types of students who are participating and what adaptations might have
to be made. As we learn more from teachers and programs, we'll share that
information.  We consider the curriculum to be flexible, so we will share
new activities and materials with participants as they are developed.

Question for Donna and Diane:

 

For what level(s) is the curriculum most appropriate?  Have adaptations been
made for English language learners?

Hello Richard,

 

 

The Equipped for the Future (EFF) initiative at the Center for Literacy
Studies has developed and piloted a new curriculum, Preparing for Work, for
youth and adults. The curriculum, comprised of six modules, is based on
EFF's business-identified standards for entry-level work readiness. The
modules integrate the "soft" skills with academic skills using a blended
approach, focusing on specific SCANS tasks while highlighting particular EFF
Standards.

 

The curriculum is available through our professional development sessions.
The next national training on this curriculum is scheduled for March 11 - 12
in Nashville, TN.

 

For more information about either the curriculum or the training, contact
Anna Bogle at 865-974-8426 or Diane Gardner at 865-974-9949.

Hello, My name is Richard Drucker. I signed up for the PD discussion group
in order to become part of a conversation about Professional Development. I
am working with graduating high school seniors who have learning
disabilities, helping them find employment. I am interested in professional
development in Youth Development and Workforce Development, and want to
learn more about Quality Standards in these areas. I look forward to being
part of the group.
