Teaching and learning more than foundation skills Workshop
5.30-6.30, Thursday, 28th June 2018
Room Cb10.5.580, Building 10, UTS, Jones St, Ultimo
In this workshop, participants will consider both the imperative for, and possibilities of, teachingmore than ‘foundation skills’ to our adult literacy and numeracy learners. Workshop facilitators Pam Osmond, Janet Dyne and Keiko Yasukawa will present some stimulus ideas for rich educational experiences which, where necessary, can be ‘reverse engineered’ to match training package/ curriculum outcomes. Working from these ideas, participants will work together to outline teaching and learning ideas and activities that address skills and knowledge that matter for their adult learners. Pam Osmond is a long-term adult literacy/ numeracy teacher, resource developer, researcher and teacher educator Janet Dyne is an adult literacy, numeracy and learner support teacher at Ultimo TAFE. She’s worked in education centres in a wide range of urban and remote communities and at the Long Bay Correctional Complex. Keiko Yasukawa is an adult literacy and numeracy teacher educator and researcher at the University of Technology Sydney.
Workshop free for 2018 NSWALNC Members and $20 for Non-Members.
Suzanne Jarret from NSW Corrective Services was presenter for our first Council forum held on 10 April. Suzanne shared with us her work in teaching ethics in her education program in the gaol. She presented some case studies of scenarios she has worked on with her learners in the gaol, and how they engaged with these scenarios. She also explained that in terms of meeting the curriculum requirements of the formal curriculum, the topics she used for her ethics sessions afforded many opportunities to meet the formal requirements of the course. Seminars such as Suzanne’s that are based on the real experiences of practitioners and which challenge and expand our thinking about what we can do in the classrooms are well received and we welcome other suggestions of possible seminar presenters.
The NSWALNC will hold its Annual General Meeting at 6.30 pm on 28 June 2018. The AGM will be held in Room Cb10.5.580, Building 10, Jones St, University of Technology, Sydney. All Welcome
