2. Enhancing Reading Instruction for Adults Using the PIAAC Framework for Literacy, Presented by Amy Trawick: Wednesday, November 30th at 2pm EST
Come explore the conceptual and assessment tools that guided the international Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) literacy assessment and that can be used by practitioners to inform reading instruction. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and will leave with ideas for planning, finding reading materials, and structuring activities at different levels. Teachers of students at all reading levels are welcome, but teachers at the lower and intermediate levels may find the workshop especially beneficial.
