The Nine Central Skills workshop teaches and practices the skills that adults need to successfully navigate the workplace and many other areas of their lives. In this workshop, you will test out a Nine Skills lesson and investigate ways to utilize this content in your instructional setting. The Nine Central Skills are easily adaptable for tutors and for workplace preparation in an IET.

Can your students use what they are learning to solve a real-world problem scenario? The Problem-Based Learning Approach workshop teaches just that. You will get to experience problem-based learning and then analyze the key characteristics so that you can build relevant lessons that allow learners to apply academic and employment skills to problems that they see every day.

Project-Based Learning can be one of the most rigorous instructional activities you can offer your learners. In this workshop, you will engage in a small group mini-project and then we will examine how this approach can be successfully incorporated into your teaching. You will learn how to facilitate projects for your students and how to connect those projects to your academic content. Project-Based Learning often uses small groups, so if you are tutoring or working in Corrections, special adaptations may be needed. 

The Integrated & Contextualized Learning Approach engages students by providing an accessible context for academic skills and content. This context can come from life experience or it can be connected to the students’ future goals. The Integrated & Contextualized Learning Approach supports IETs and literacy students with job skills goals. This workshop is coming in Spring 2025.
