SUMMARY:Ask ATLAS in the ATLAS Lounge – Teacher Dispositions! Office Hour with Patsy and Erin
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Online (see details below) \n\nJoin the ATLAS Lounge for Ask ATLAS Office Hours. \n\n \nPasscode to join the meeting: lounge2026 \nWelcome to a new endeavor for ATLAS – open office hours! Join the Zoom on Friday\, November 30\, between 2:00 and 3:00 pm. This office hour is dedicated to those teacher dispositions (behaviors we are nurturing in adult edcuators)\, and Patsy and Erin will be sipping coffee\, awaiting a conversation with you! Come with questions (no question is a bad question!) or simply to connect with colleagues. (Learn more about Patsy Egan & Erin Cary and their experience below.) \nWhat is Ask ATLAS in the ATLAS Lounge?\nASK ATLAS is an “office hour\,” simply time for an informal\, drop-in conversation with an ATLAS staff member. Each of us at ATLAS holds interests and expertise in different areas\, and we are eager to talk about teaching and learning with you. Come to connect with others doing similar work and chat with ATLAS folks! Bring your questions\, new resources\, & frustrations. We’re eager to hear more about your classroom and program. \n[Note: CEUs not available for these informal\, drop-in events] \n\nPatsy Egan\, PhD\, is the ATLAS Director. She has been involved with language teaching & learning in various ways since she began teaching English in Russia in 1994. She holds a BA in Russian\, an MA in ESL\, and a PhD in Curriculum & Instruction in the area of Second Languages & Cultures. After her time abroad\, Patsy returned to her homebase in Nebraska and worked as the Refugee Coordinator for the Lincoln Literacy Council. After relocating to Minnesota in 1998\, she taught English and composition at the U of M in the late 90’s\, and she taught adult ESL in the early 2000’s at Lao Family Community Center and Metro North-Brooklyn Center. While she is enamored with all things related to ESL\, her particular wheelhouse is lower levels\, those who with emergent print literacy. \nFun fact: Patsy attended the LESLLA Symposium Brno\, Czechia\, in late August! (www.leslla.org) This year at LESLLA\, Patsy and colleague Janet Issleris (Brown University) offered a workshop on the legacy and learnings from Dr. Heide Wrigley\, a beloved LESLLA colleague who passed away last December. \nFun fact #2 – Patsy was the first President of LESLLA. \n  \nErin Cary holds a Master of Arts in ESL from Hamline University\, specializing in Adult Education; a Master of Arts in German Languages and Literatures from The Ohio State University; and Bachelor’s degrees in English and German from the University of Minnesota Morris. She has worked in MN ABE since 2009 as a teacher\, administrator\, and in curriculum writing and professional development. She teaches beginner ELLs for Metro North ABE in Brooklyn Center; instructs graduate courses in the ABE licensure/MAT program at Hamline; and co-develops CILIA-T\, an integrated civics/academic English/digital skills curriculum for adult learners. She is a co-founder of the teacher/learner self-advocacy movement #IamABE\, which supports equity work\, professional issues\, and activism in MN. \nFun fact: Erin is brand new to ATLAS\, but a huge PD aficionado\, and also currently teaching adult ELLs in Brooklyn Center\, as well as graduate courses in Hamline’s MAT/ABE licensure program. She’s happy to chat about any of these topics!

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:**DUE TODAY** Applications for Statewide Mentorship Experience Spring 2027 Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: MON. 1/25/27 \nVenue: Online (see details below) \n\nLast day to apply* for the Statewide Mentorship Experience Spring 2027 Cohort (starting February 12!)\n\n*Note: Applications are accepted year-round; however\, each cohort has a submission deadline. Applying by the deadline allows us time to identify an appropriate match before the cohort begins. \nMentorship Experience Purpose\nThe Statewide Mentorship Experience is an ATLAS initiative designed to support Minnesota ABE professionals through a facilitated\,  relevant\, meaningful\, and effective mentorship experience between mentors and mentees.  Mentors and mentees may be managers\, coordinators\, support staff or instructors who are looking to intentionally support and learn from peers in MN ABE programs. \nThe Statewide Mentorship Experience takes place over a 12-week period and is facilitated by ATLAS content-leads: Lindsey Pust\, Kristine Kelly and Carly Voshell. \nWhat is a mentor?\nA mentor is NOT someone who has all of the answers! Rather\, a mentor is an experienced professional who is a purposeful match (complimentary role\, context\, content area\, experiences\, thinking partner\, etc.) to a mentee’s goals; a colleague who nurtures professional growth in a mentee by sharing their knowledge and insights and supporting the mentee in their professional learning and growth. \nWhat is a mentee?\nA mentee is a professional who is interested in professional growth and development in their role from a colleague in a similar role. \nThe mentor/mentee relationship is a positive\, dynamic reciprocal relationship grounded in the value of continued professional growth. \nWhat would make sense to focus on? How will I see tangible results?\nCheck out these sample topics and SMART goals! \nBenefits include:\nFor you: This is an opportunity to further develop your personal leadership skills. \nFor everyone: When MN Adult Education teachers\, managers\, and support staff are well prepared for their work\, everyone benefits!  Research shows that adult students persist when they feel like they are in good hands and are making progress.  Through this initiative\, new adult educators (from front desk staff to instructors to newly minted managers) are equipped with a go-to partner\, someone who can act as a resource\, a sounding board\, a cheerleader\, and an ally as they navigate their work. \nIf eligible: Mentors and mentees each receive CEUs and a stipend through ATLAS. NOTE: Those with an Administrative license from PELSB can receive Administrative CEUs by request. \n\nApply Now!*\n*We accept applications on an ongoing basis. \nI’d like to be a mentor!\nI’d like to be a mentee!
