The Future Is Here: Rising to Higher Expectations for ESOL Instruction and Student Outcomes
Date: Friday, September 6, 2019
Time: 2:00 PM
--3:00 PM (EST)
Presented by: Sarah Lynn & Federico Salas-Isnardi
In order for English language learners to take full advantage of today's career and educational opportunities, they need to rise to the higher expectations for academic rigor as outlined in the College and Career Readiness Standards, and achieve measurable outcomes as defined by the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act.
How can we meet these rising expectations in our general English language classes? By enriching the content we teach, broadening the contexts of English to include workplace and academic communication, scaffolding rigorous tasks, and increasing the range and frequency of higher order thinking skills.
Join this webinar to see how the new edition of Future has risen to today's higher expectations. We will highlight how the new edition's reading and writing strands scaffold challenging tasks from the start, and how the Future's new workplace soft-skill strand engages students' culture skills in collaborative problem-solving tasks.

New! Free Resources to Train Adult ESL Teachers and Volunteers
Date: Wednesday, September
25th
Time: 2:00 PM--3:00 PM (EST)
Presented by: Andrea Echelberger
All ESL programs want their learners to experience high-quality teaching, whether it is delivered by a full-time professional teacher, a part-time teacher who is new to the field, or a classroom volunteer. This webinar will share resources that have been developed to increase the teaching skills and confidence of classroom teachers and volunteers who may have limited time for training and varying levels of expertise. Throughout the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to explore the Minnesota Literacy Council's classroom activity videos, mini-trainings toolkit, and ESL small-group pull-out kits. These resources will support teachers and volunteers in areas such as giving effective feedback, delivering activity instructions, and using appropriate amounts of teacher talk. The presenter will recommend ways for programs to use these free resources to support teachers and volunteers, and participants will share their own ideas through facilitated discussions.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of long time COABE team member, Rob Lawrence. Rob was a former adult learner who worked for Martinez Adult School in California. He served in a number of positions, eventually moving into the position of teacher and coordinator at the Adult School.
His work with COABE as the web designer began with his service on the COABE/CCAE 2011 conference committee. Rob was known for being an incredibly responsive, forward thinking, team player. His parting leaves a void at the COABE office and his beloved adult school.
Martinez Adult Education, the adult school where Rob served for 27 years, is establishing scholarships in Rob's name and dedicating a memorial garden at their site in Rob's honor. Donations can be made to Martinez Adult Education, 600 F Street Martinez CA 94553, please specify in the memo Rob Lawrence memorial.
