ABOUT THIS TOPIC
Adult learners have a limited amount of time in the classroom, so instructors have to pack as much into a lesson as possible. A great way to maximize learning is to incorporate cross-curricular strategies into lesson plans.
In this session, learn ways you can weave multiple subjects together in one lesson so students get the most from their time with you.
This session will be aimed particularly at Texas community-based adult literacy organizations.
