Enjoy a One-Hour Live, Collaborative Session Every Month

Far too many adult learners with dyslexia, ADHD, processing disorders, and other learning differences have gone without the understanding and support they deserve. For many, these challenges were overlooked or misinterpreted in earlier schooling, leading to years of quiet struggle. This session reframes that narrative by placing the responsibility where it belongs—on educators, institutions, and communities that have the power to advocate for change. It highlights the transformational impact that occurs when educators champion accommodations, push for specialized services, and connect learners with meaningful resources. 

Participants will gain a renewed sense of purpose for creating inclusive classrooms, exploring practical tools and community resources to help learners overcome barriers. Through real student stories, we’ll illustrate how advocacy and access to services can change lives, while emphasizing the importance of widespread awareness and recognition of learning differences in adult education. Educators will leave with actionable strategies for advocating within their institutions, ensuring every student has the chance to succeed. 

Effectively monitoring and supporting independent student work across your learning system requires consistent updates and check-ins to ensure engagement and successful outcomes. This session will demonstrate how to leverage Essential Education and its integrated reporting features—such as the TABE + CASAS Integration Report—to maintain a meaningful connection with student progress. You will learn to track key metrics like lesson completion, test readiness, and skill mastery.

Participants will gain the knowledge to access, interpret, and use progress data effectively. This is crucial for making data-informed instructional decisions, promptly identifying struggling students, and delivering timely, targeted support. By converting progress data into practical steps, teachers can better guide classroom instruction, strengthen student learning, and accelerate overall growth. This training provides the tools and confidence to use data effectively, ensuring every instructional minute counts, whether your goal is to improve outcomes, boost engagement, or personalize learning paths.

Online learning is rapidly becoming a highly effective alternative to traditional, in-person instruction. It not only offers convenience but also equips adult learners with essential adaptive and technical skills crucial for academic and career advancement. In this session, we’ll introduce a proven framework for developing "face-to-face" online classes that often surpass the outcomes of traditional classrooms, helping adult students with an NRS score of 3 or higher succeed.

Participants will learn how to boost engagement and accelerate student progress by implementing the elements of a high-impact class, including a consistent structure, “face-to-face” online meetings, and clear expectations. You will see live examples of active engagement strategies and hear directly from a former online class coach about the essential role they play. You will receive a ready-to-sign, editable template of an online student expectations document and see simple first steps that require minimal equipment, inspiring you to create your own rewarding online teaching experience.
