LOCATION |
El Paso Community College - Administrative Service Center | |
DESCRIPTION |
This Institute is designed to prepare Adult Education instructors to introduce postsecondary academic content, survival skills, and career and college culture information into their curriculum. Focus on this series will be on note-taking, critical reading and discussion skills using material that introduce students to career exploration and an understanding to the US college system. Participants will experience and practice using activity-based lesson plans that teach students a modified Cornell note-taking strategy/format. This note-taking format enhances critical reading skills (main points/details), promotes practice in asking and structuring questions for review, and improves discussion skills through focused listening and speaking practice. Participants will be able to use the lesson plans in their GED/ESL classes. | |

DESCRIPTION |
This 3-day workshop will present hands-on activities that will have students talking at the best of their abilities. We will demonstrate how to create simple one-question surveys that work both inside and outside of the classroom and how even beginning level students can express ideas as part of structured pair activities. Proven strategies such as Readers’ Theater can help even the shyest students find their voice. We will show how role-plays and drama can be used to engage students in problem solving and communication and how scenarios can present a jumping off point for playing with language while discussing issues important in students’ lives. | |
