Summer Camps and Maker Spaces: Creative PD for New Teacher Skills
It’s an exciting time to be providing professional development for adult educators. With new technology come new ways of teaching, new skills teachers need, and new ways to deliver PD. Hear about how World Education is engaging teachers through service learning opportunities and collaborative design challenges. In summer camps (like CampGPT) and EdTech Maker Spaces, teachers learn how to create classroom-ready resources and explore emerging technology in a low stakes, fun environment, and in doing so, build a sense of belonging and community. We hope you can join us for this session of professional learning for professional developers!

Most adult education tutors and teachers receive quality pre-service training before they start working with students. For many, this training is delivered without the instructor having adult education experience to provide context for what they’re learning. Once they begin teaching, they have little time for or access to additional training, either because the local provider lacks the staff/resources, or the instructor and provider are not aware of what is available.
ProLiteracy's Teacher Training Plus project attempts to address this issue by: 1) Surveying tutors, teachers, and program administrators about the issues instructors encounter once they begin working with students, 2) Designing webinars that present best-practice instructional strategies, and 3) Providing just-in-time small group coaching sessions to help instructors implement the strategies. Come hear about the results using this model! About the Presenter Todd Evans is the director of professional development for ProLiteracy. In that role, he identifies the professional development, learning, and support needs of literacy program managers, tutors and instructors, trainers, and students, and directs the development and delivery of professional development, learning, and support services to meet those needs. Todd has been with ProLiteracy since 1995. He has spent most of his time with ProLiteracy providing training to tutors, teachers, students, and program managers in a variety of subjects.
