 Greetings,
We invite partners to join us for the Oregon Adult Basic Skills (ABS) Conference on November 4-5, 2024, in Salem, Oregon.
Featured Session
Teaching Vocabulary and Supporting Vocabulary Learning for ESL Learners by Kathy Harris, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at PSU and Director of the Literacy, Language, and Technology Research Group. Dr. Harris conducts trainings and creates professional development materials for adult education teachers in national projects such as LINCS ESL Pro, Digital Resilience in the American Workforce, and Teaching Skills that Matter. Her current research focuses on the importance of digital skills and access for adults for purposes of work, health, and education.
The Oregon Adult Basic Skills Conference is an annual event that brings together professionals committed to advancing Adult Basic Skills and high school equivalency education.
The theme of this year's conference is "Point of View," emphasizing the importance of recognizing and valuing diverse perspectives of adult learners and those pursuing high school equivalency.
The conference aims to prepare educators and leaders with strategies to understand how these varied backgrounds influence learning processes and outcomes. By integrating these perspectives into their teaching practices, educators can foster a more inclusive and effective learning environment with better outcomes.
