Attachments: Attach0.html Uploaded File 19K Hi Branka, Thanks for the updates. I miss you and all the folks at TIMAC. I won’t be able to meet on Friday because the entire Cerritos College campus is meeting to discuss student success and planning. But I’d like to share a few highlights of what’s going on at Adult Ed. The older wiser courses have slowed some of their shrinking, and some credit ESL courses have been transferred to non-credit, and we have proposed a very low, basic English class which would facilitate the transition and further prepare students prior to entering credit English/writing classes. We are hopeful these types of classes will provide more fundamentals, practice, and boost the confidence of students which may feel a little hesitant to move to the credit side of the campus. Regarding using technology for instruction, my students are learning about the world of blogging via the My Writing Blog I set up for low/high intermediate ESL students to practice their writing and Reinventors Blog which was set-up for Occupations Preparation students to practice their networking, computer and internet skills. Please say, “How’dy,” to the staff and TIMAC alumni on Friday! Martha Robles ESL/VESL Faculty Adult Ed Dept.
