Introduction to Teaching Skills That Matter (Self-Paced Modules)
This introduction to the Teaching Skills That Matter in Adult Education (TSTM) Toolkit provides an overview of the toolkit framework. The introduction also provides materials and guidance to train teachers to incorporate the skills that matter into adult education programming by using instructional approaches that work across relevant topic focus areas that are connected to student needs. Using the TSTM project’s tools and training, adult education teachers can teach the transferable skills students need in these critical contexts.

Teaching beginning English language learners is rewarding, and not without unique challenges. This series of monthly conversations is an opportunity for teachers of beginning ELs to exchange ideas on practical approaches in a supportive and structured setting. The sessions invite curiosity and highlight teachers as creative problem solvers. The tone is informal, the exchange professional, and the focus practical. Teachers are welcome to join as many sessions as they like.
