A resource for teachers and learners, a quote to inspire, and a question to ponder. It really is the little things we do consistently that lead to great outcomes.
Just Write!
I'm wrapping up the development of a professional development course, Introduction to Teaching Adult Literacy. In my research for course resources, I came across the Just Write! Guide and accompanying TEAL 12 Fact Sheets (American Institute for Research, 2012).
The guide intends to increase familiarity with evidence-based writing instruction and enhance the quality of instruction delivered to adult learners. These are excellent research-based resources for all educators who teach writing.
You can access each TEAL Fact Sheet by clicking on the following links:
Last week I shared the link to Brent Warner's profile, a professor of ESL at Irvine Valley College in California who has some sound ideas for how to leverage AI for language learning and teaching.
I discussed similar approaches to using Chat GPT for modifying and scaffolding writing in a recent webinar. Below is a screenshot of an example. You can watch the recording of the IPDAE webinar here: Teaching Writing: Editing and Collaboration
