SUMMARY:Teach ABE Reading and Writing with Relevant\, Peer-Written Content (Coinciding with The Change Agent’s 2026 Call for Articles!)
DESCRIPTION:Using relevant\, peer-written content doesn’t just engage learners\, it builds a powerful bridge to more complex reading and writing. When students see their own experiences reflected in the material\, they’re more willing to stay with it\, even when the text gets harder. That engagement becomes a form of scaffolding\, helping them stretch their skills and confidence. \nPublished three times per year\, The Change Agent showcases student-written articles on a wide range of topics (disabilities\, digital literacy\, transferable skills\, immigration\, and much more). This content makes a great tool for teaching reading and writing in your ABE class. About 20 states in the U.S. (including all NELRC states) have free log-in credentials; teachers and students from those states can access all Change Agent content. Others will need a subscription\, however\, the links shared during the workshop will work for everyone. Come and learn about this rich source of readings — including many ready-to-use\, standards-aligned activities and worksheets. As an added bonus\, this workshop coincides with the release of the 2026 Call for Articles. Learn about how you can bring the writing prompts from the Call for Articles to your class and support your students to submit their writing to a national publication. \nRegister here: https://jsi.zoom.us/meeting/register/fFIR0eUFSUu3PUcyrTa1zQ

SUMMARY:Innovative PD in Action: State Models that Build Educator Leadership
DESCRIPTION:What does effective professional development look like when it’s rooted in practice? Join us on March 4\, 2026\, from 1 to 2:30 PM ET for a conversation featuring Massachusetts and Rhode Island as they share innovative approaches to strengthening adult education through redesigned PD models. \nMassachusetts will highlight its program-based coaching approach\, which embeds professional learning into ongoing instructional practice and supports educators through structured reflection\, feedback\, and implementation support. Rhode Island will present BRITFRIT (By Rhode Island Teachers\, For Rhode Island Teachers)\, a practitioner-led model that elevates instructors as experts\, builds instructional leadership\, and fosters peer-driven learning across the state. \nTogether\, these models demonstrate how states can move beyond one-time workshops toward sustained\, collaborative professional development that builds capacity\, strengthens leadership\, and supports meaningful classroom impact. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for rethinking PD design and implementation in their own contexts. \nRegister here. \nThis webinar is hosted by the New England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC) at World Education\, which strengthens adult literacy services in the New England region through sharing and collaboration among professional development providers\, practitioners and policy-makers.
