Strategies & Accommodations Workshop in February
The AALRC will offer the Strategies and Accommodations for Adults with Learning Disabilities
workshop on Feb. 16-17, 2004. This 1½ -day workshop is a totally hands-on practice session with
instructional materials that have proven to be effective for teaching both cognitive and metacognitive
skills to adult students who have learning disabilities and/or ADHD. The workshop will teach
instructors how to use specific materials and strategies to ensure effective instruction for this population,
80% of whom rely primarily on kinesthetic learning styles to process new information.
Each workshop participant receives a kit worth $200 at the end of the workshop that includes all
materials used in the training.
For more information or to register, please contact Wanda at the AALRC at wanda@aalrc.org.
Cooper Training a Huge Success
Dr. Richard Cooper was at the AALRC for a week in September to present a series of one-day
workshops on teaching adults with learning disabilities. There were approximately 50 participants
each day from adult education and literacy programs all over the state, and evaluations plus onthe-
spot comments were all positive and indicated that the workshop sessions were extremely
helpful.
Dr. Cooper, from Pennsylvania, is a nationally renowned expert in the field of teaching adults with
learning disabilities. His workshop series consisted of:
| Day 1: | Techniques for Teaching Adults Who Learn Differently |
| Alternative Study and Organization Skills | |
| Day 2: | Teaching Reading to Adults with Learning Problems |
| Vocabulary Development for Adults with Learning Problems | |
| Day 3: | Teaching Spelling and Writing to Adults with Learning Problems |
| Day 4: | Teaching Math to Adults with Learning Problems |
| Day 5: | Multi-Level Classroom Techniques Designing Adult Education Programs to Meet the Needs of Adults with Learning Differences |
