Help adult learners build the persistence and problem-solving skills they need to thrive in the workplace. This webinar explores how to help students shift from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this yet” using classroom activities, reflection prompts, and simple digital learning progress portfolios. Participants will also explore how AI can act as a thinking partner—helping students brainstorm strategies, understand feedback, and reframe challenges as learning opportunities. Leave with ideas for building a learning environment where mistakes are part of the process.
In this webinar, Vanessa Otero, the founder and CEO of Ad Fontes Media, will teach strategies for evaluating the reliability and bias of news and "news-like" content in your media diet. Ad Fontes is the company that produces the Media Bias Chart, and these strategies have helped news consumers of all ages discern what kind of media they should be relying on. ProLiteracy New Readers Press Publications Editor Mary Ann Marazzi will also provide a brief overview of News for You, our print and web-based newspaper written for adult learners. Each week, News for You publishes seven high-interest, low-level current event articles that help adult learners build reading, language, and news literacy skills.
Our professional development resources help program managers, instructors, trainers, and others build the capacity and quality of adult education programs. Our tools can help your adult literacy programs strengthen skills and learn new strategies to improve student outcomes in reading, writing, and financial literacy.
