Literacy Lunch & Learn

The Research & Program Development Department at The Immigrant Education Society (TIES) presents a webinar series that explores the use of technology and hybrid delivery in ESL literacy classrooms. This is part of a three-year project called the Hybrid Education Literacy Learning Optimization (HELLO) Study. Each short webinar delves into a different aspect of hybrid delivery for literacy learners, from understanding the basics, to exploring resources and activities for hybrid delivery, to considering hybrid delivery as an equity policy to meet your learners' complex needs.

Literacy Lunch & Learn 1

This webinar tackles bringing literacy learners into digital and hybrid spaces. We’ll delve into the world of literacy learners, exploring their characteristics and the importance of hybrid modes of delivery as an equity policy. No matter what level you teach, we’ll invite you to consider steps you can take for your learners. At lower levels, we’ll discuss developing digital literacy in person. At mid-high levels, we’ll share tools for moving your students online.

In this webinar, we dive into the practical aspects of hybrid literacy instruction. Learn about essential equipment and digital platforms that can elevate your online teaching experience, discover a range of valuable resources that can enrich your hybrid teaching, and explore activities tailored for all levels of literacy.

The final webinar in the series unpacks the impact of hybrid delivery as an equity policy, shaping the future of literacy education. Explore the pivotal role that teachers can play in creating an equitable learning environment by considering learners’ diverse backgrounds and needs.
