 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
Experience Dyslexia and Other Common Learning Differences by the Oregon Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (ORBIDA). Experience the power of empathy by taking part in a variety of activities that mimic the learning experiences and associated frustration and anxiety that students with learning disabilities/learning differences face on a daily basis. The simulation will show participants how it feels to have a learning difficulty caused by dyslexia or other common language-based learning differences. This experience will improve participants' understanding of the challenges students encounter, what helps, and why accommodations level the academic playing field.
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.
