LINCS Learner Web web-based professional development courses for teachers and tutors

Colleagues,

I want to call your attention to a free LINCS Learner Web professional development portal sponsored by Literacyworks. The site includes Learning Plans (individually-paced curricula) that in this case focus on adult literacy education professional development. Each Learning Plan is driven by a learning goal. Current goals include:

ELL/ESOL/ESL

English Language Learning University (ELL-U )

  1. ELL-U Emergent Readers: Introduction
  2. ELL-U Vocabulary Club: Introduction

Teaching Reading

  1. Teaching Reading Alphabetics
  2. Teaching Reading Comprehension
  3. Teaching Reading Fluency
  1. Teaching Reading Vocabulary
  2. Using the Assessment Strategies and Reading Profiles Website

New Learning Plans being developed for adult literacy tutors: Learner-centered Resources for Tutoring: Making Resources Tutor-ready
These will be based on LINCS' Teaching Adults to Read courses and will include:

  • Learner-centered resources as needed
  • Practical research-based materials
  • Learner-based tutoring logs
