Enjoy a One-Hour Live, Collaborative Session Every Month

Adult learners achieve the greatest gains when practice serves as an opportunity for learning rather than a simple assessment of existing knowledge. This session explores how active learning, immediate feedback, and purposeful repetition strengthen foundational skills, support knowledge retention, and prepare students for successful assessments. Moving beyond traditional memorization, we will discuss how targeted practice creates a continuous cycle of growth that increases student confidence, supports Educational Functioning Level (EFL) gains, and improves program performance.

Participants will learn how TABE Practice Plus and CASAS Practice Plus promote learning by identifying skill gaps and prescribing the exact practice exercises with personalized instruction to help students advance quickly. By combining targeted practice with multimedia content, these programs meet diverse learning needs, improve recall, and accelerate Measurable Skills Gains.

Adult learner success is deeply connected to emotional well-being. With rising rates of anxiety and depression, many students struggle with intrapersonal needs, leading to lower attendance and skill gains. This session will equip you with the critical knowledge and strategies—including trauma-informed practices, social-emotional curriculum, and mental health awareness—needed to effectively support and engage your students through to goal completion.

Participants will gain a greater understanding of the unique emotional needs of adult learners by examining insights from a global professional learning community. This session delivers valuable, practical tools and instructional strategies, grounded in real-world classroom experiences, to help you immediately encourage student progress, build skills, and improve program retention.

Low math self-efficacy is a persistent barrier in adult education, often rooted in a learner’s internalized belief that they simply "cannot do math." This apprehension affects academic success, career advancement, and personal confidence, and also creates a cognitive burden that diminishes working memory and hinders effective problem-solving. This session addresses this widespread challenge by exploring the root causes of math anxiety and its detrimental effects on motivation, persistence, and overall learner achievement.

Participants will gain insight into how math anxiety affects learner progress and receive practical, educator-tested strategies to reverse these trends. The session will introduce techniques to reduce cognitive barriers, support skill development, and foster a more positive and productive learning environment that empowers students to overcome fear and build long-term success in math.
