Faculty Professional Development Workshop: Contextualizing Basic Skills to Increase Student Success
Here is a upcoming conference that might be of interested to our Nor Cal Finners. It is hosted by FIN’s financial adviser, Judi Watkins.
Program made possible through the EB-TV CTE Community Collaborative Grant
October 23, 2009
9:00am – 3:30 pm*
You already have students in your classes who don’t have the foundational skills in reading, writing, math, English as a Second Language, learning skills, or study skills to be successful. What can you do to help them? Why not incorporate some skill-building lessons and activities that are made relevant in the context of your course content? This is just one of the approaches that will be presented in this regional Workplace Learning Resource Center workshop on contextualizing basic skills. Part one will highlight relevant studies, successful program models, and teaching strategies. Part two will engage you in teams to develop contextualized activities within some of your own lessons. You will leave with sample lessons, activities, and resources that you can immediately use and the know-how to create more.
