No Adult Left Behind:
Teaching and Reaching a Multi-Level/Multi-Subject Group

Florida's Adult and Family Literacy Resource Center is pleased to offer this free two-part webinar to all Florida adult education/literacy tutors, teachers, and administrators. 

Part 1:
Meeting the instructional needs of individual adult learners within a diverse, multi-level, mixed-subject group setting calls for teachers and tutors to rethink “whole-group lesson.” This session will share strategies to prepare you to be flexible, fluid and learner driven as you develop lesson plans, assignments and approaches to classroom management. 
Examples for Part 2 of the webinar will be created from participants’ emailed follow-up activity
Archived on our webinar page.

Part 2:
One group, but not one literacy level? How can adult educators create and teach a single-focus lesson plan to a group of adult learners with a wide range of literacy skills?  Using the topics suggested by Part 1 participants, this webinar presents ideas for finding alternative materials, methods for evaluating the reading level of any print, and suggestions for creating assignments.
