Event Type: Webinar + Discussion
Event Date: February 3, 2020, 1:00-2:00 PM ET
Adult education providers have found various ways to provide IELCE services in combination with IET for employment and economic self-sufficiency (34 CFR, Parts 463.36 and 463.73). As part of the Building Opportunities project, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) contracted Manhattan Strategy Group to develop a Bright Spots suite, featuring noteworthy examples of IELCE program practices.
Join project staff from the Building Opportunities for Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education project, as they share background information on the Bright Spots development and the themes that emerged from this analysis. The team will also share an overview of what the Bright Spots suite will provide, including concrete examples about IELCE programs in the areas of program design, partnerships, and recruitment. The webinar will be followed by a discussion thread in the Program Management, Career Pathways, and English Language Acquisition groups in the LINCS Community.
