Greetings All! I hope that you have received your invitation to participate in our upcoming event, “Meet the Kentucky Adult Education Skills U Lesson Bank.” Please note that this event is now being shared between the LINCS Reading and Writing, and Teaching and Learning Communities of practice . You may review the details of that announcement among our LINCS Community Notices at https://community.lincs.ed.gov/notice/meet-kentucky-adult-education-skills-u-lesson-bank. You can also explore this Lesson Bank in our LINCS Resource Collection at https://lincs.ed.gov/professional-development/resource-collections/profile-995.
This is a three-day (July 9-11), exciting, asynchronous discussion, during which you will be invited to dialogue with three guest “speakers” representing KYAE Skills U, who will be responding to your questions and suggestions. You will also be invited to interact with lesson plans and discuss rubric development as a means to assess learner performance. You will find an agenda posted each day with instructions, resources, and questions for our guests to address with us each day. Please invite others to join us in what promises to be a robust and very useful discussion.
I hope that you will be inspired to continue to participate in this and other LINCS discussions following this event, which will remain open indefinitely for further dialogue.
For those of you who might fear having your email list become jammed with entries from our LINCS Communities of Practice, there is a great solution. You are invited to go to the group’s home page that lists all recent activity. In the left column, you’ll see a box that says, “MY MAIL SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS GROUP.” (See image below.) Select the 24-Hour Digest. That’s my preference. Then, once every 24 hours, you will receive only one email, listing a few lines of new entries posted in the groups that you include in the digest option. I run through those very quickly every day and only click to go online to read the whole messages for those I select. Once you log in, messages that you click in the digest will automatically open in each forum.
I look forward to hearing more from each of you, starting now as you prepare to participate in the upcoming event, “Meet the Kentucky Adult Education Skills U Lesson Bank.” I posted this as a discussion so that you would have a forum to start preparing to participate in this event. Please add your questions and comments prior to July 9th to help us better address your specific interests in this topic! Let's start talking! Leecy
