SUMMARY:The Art of Small Group Facilitation
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: THU. 12/3/26 \nVenue: Online (see details below) \n\nSmall group work can be one of the most effective ways to increase student engagement and language practice\, but facilitating a group isn’t always easy. Volunteers are often asked to lead discussions\, support practice activities\, or facilitate group work. Balancing participation among learners with different personalities\, confidence levels\, and language skills can be tricky\, but a few simple strategies can make a big difference. \nThis webinar will provide practical strategies for facilitating productive small groups\, encouraging meaningful student talk time\, and creating opportunities for every learner to participate. Participants will leave with techniques they can immediately use to foster engagement and communication in any classroom setting.

SUMMARY:Starting Strong: Supporting Beginning-Level Learners in the ELL Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: WED. 12/16/26 \nVenue: Online (see details below) \n\nWorking with beginning-level learners can feel both exciting and intimidating\, especially for new volunteers. Students may have limited literacy skills\, emerging English proficiency\, interrupted formal education\, or varying comfort levels with classroom participation. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore practical strategies for supporting learners in low-level ABE and ESL classrooms. Participants will learn how to build confidence\, scaffold instruction\, communicate clearly\, and create a welcoming learning environment. We’ll also discuss common challenges and simple techniques that help volunteers support student success without feeling overwhelmed.
