Dear colleagues,

 

The online courses "Research-based Strategies and Models for Adult
Transitions to Postsecondary Education" and "Research-based Adult Reading
Instruction Study Circle" are now open for registration. Course dates are
October 8, 2009, to December 9, 2009.

 

In Research-based Strategies and Models for Adult Transitions to
Postsecondary Education, you will read and discuss the research on the
changing workforce and examine the reasons why adult learners need to go
beyond the GED to advance their earning potential.  Plus you will examine
program models that support adult transitions to postsecondary education.
For more information about the course, or to register, go to

The Research-based Adult Reading Instruction Study Circle is designed to
engage practitioners of adult basic education (ABE), adult secondary
education (ASE), and English-for-speakers-of-other-languages (ESOL) in
discussing theories and concepts related to reading instruction. Questions
about what research says about teaching adults how to read are particularly
relevant as programs and teachers struggle with choosing the most effective
ways to develop adults' reading skills. For more information about the
course, or to register, go to
http://professionalstudiesae.worlded.org/index.html#read.

 

To ensure a seat, register early. Registrations will be accepted on a first
come basis.

 

If you have any questions about registering for these courses please contact

Best,

Kaye
