A Message from the Leadership Team
Adult Education
Thank you to all who participated in the Adult Educations and Family Literacy Awareness Week. Collier County Public Library and Barnes & Nobles assisted in promoting the importance of Adult Education and Family Literacy by hosting informational workshops and storytelling activities for our students and community. This was an opportunity to celebrate the importance of adult education programs and create an awareness of what we offer throughout our school district.
We also want to officially recognize our newest full-time ESOL instructor Lindita Lici who will be teaching levels 1 and 2 of our ELCATE Academy as our program continues to grow.
Remember to arrive at least 15 minutes early to get your attendance sheets and to greet your students as they arrive to class. Someone will come around and pick up your attendance sheets once class has started. We look forward to another prosperous year for Community Education.
An email is forthcoming to ask you for your teaching schedule for Winter 1 and 2. We will be combining the class schedule books. Be sure to adhere to the deadlines.
Winter 1 and Winter 2 Catalogs will be combined, therefore Laraine will be sending an email this week to ask for your schedule for both sessions. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Topic Read Like a Historian: Differentiating Instruction – One Size Doesn’t Fit All!
Join us for the next Tuesdays for Teachers as we explore why the ability to read primary and secondary sources can be challenging for students. Learn about reading tools that you can use in your ABE and GED® classroom to help your students “read like a historian”. It’s not just about higher-level texts. Our students encounter numerous types of primary and secondary sources on a daily basis - from the Internet to television, newspapers, textbooks, and more. Investigate differentiated reading strategies to assist your students in “reading like a historian”.
