Enjoy a One-Hour Live, Collaborative Session Every Month

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.

For many adult learners, feedback feels personal. Past educational experiences, low confidence, or fear of failure can turn constructive input into a source of discouragement. The key is helping learners shift their perspective, viewing feedback as essential fuel for growth. In this session, we will explore practical strategies for delivering feedback with empathy, encouraging deep student reflection, and cultivating a growth mindset in which missteps are seen as critical stepping stones rather than roadblocks. These approaches are effective whether your students are learning in person, online, or in a blended environment. 

Participants will gain practical resources designed to transform the feedback experience, including self-assessment tools, goal-setting frameworks, and classroom activities that foster peer feedback and personal growth. You will learn how to create a safe and supportive environment where feedback is trusted, welcomed, and used effectively to drive progress. Ultimately, this will empower your adult students to gain confidence, take true ownership of their educational journey, and sustain long-term motivation.
