Colleagues,
In case you missed it, the LINCS Learning Portal is continually adding new and relevant courses. This new course, Workforce Preparation Activities in the Classroom: Contextualizing Employability Skills for Deeper Learning is now available. Expect to spend approximately 90 minutes completing this course, you will be able to ...
- describe the rationale behind contextualized instruction that simultaneously addresses college and career readiness instruction and general workforce preparation and employability skills,
- demonstrate how this rationale is already incorporated into an existing curriculum,
- explain best practices concerning workforce preparation activities as referenced in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and illustrate how these practices are currently being used to teach employability skills to adult learners, and
- locate resources to develop and incorporate workforce preparation activities into curriculum and instruction.
To access the course, create or log into your LINCS user account and locate the course in the LINCS Learning Portal.
I will be taking the course starting on Monday and posting some reflections on this thread. Join the course with me! I look forward to learning together.
Sincerely,
Kathy Tracey
