HVCP is offering a full day of exciting and informational workshop sessions for administrators and teachers in adult education program. We have heard from you that sometimes the workshop descriptions do not provide enough information for you to choose which workshop best meets your needs and interests, or that you need information to understand how the workshop fits or aligns with New York State Education Department (NYSED) policy and initiatives. This guide provides you with the information you need to make a wise choice. Please take the time to read.
The Office of Adult Education and Workforce Development (AEWD) has identified a number of policy and instructional areas to improve the quality of adult education program, instruction and student learning in New York state. What is expected of adult education in the 21st century has increased, almost exponentially. We now have academic and employment performance outcomes and standards, required standardized testing, increased numbers of English language learners, and we must pay attention to students with varying learning styles and needs. All this must be achieved in a fast-moving global economy in which family wage jobs increasingly require, not just high school eqivalency but, post-secondary certification. I hope that these workshops will assist you in meeting the challenge. |
