COLLIER ADULT EDUCATION
Tuesday, May 22, 2018
Message from the Leadership Team.
As you are winding-down the last couple days of instruction, please take a moment to explore and share the new Collier Adult Ed website, http://www.collieradulted.com/ , with your students. The new website is easy to navigate and has Google translate embedded. On the homepage, near the upper right corner, simply select the desired language and the website will convert to the chosen language. To return to English, click “original” in the upper left hand corner of the homepage. Students can find useful information such as: start and end dates; times; and locations of classes. Please let them know that we will be starting Fall 2018 classes August 21,2018 and that they may begin registering August 14, 2018. We are excited to introduce this new website and encourage you to explore it!
Also, please take a moment to complete the 2018-2019 Teacher Interest Survey for next school year. This quick survey assists us in planning for the needs of next year while trying to accommodate everyone's interests.

ESOL Instructor Resources
Another year in the books! As I reflect on this past year, I realize I am apart of an amazing Adult Ed team! I can't thank you enough for your passion for your students and commitment to teach the standards in which our students need to be successful.
While you are on summer break relaxing by the pool, beach or on the couch, if your mind wanders, try to think of ways to make your next year's class even more engaging than you did this year! I will have more strategies and resources to share with you, but in the meantime, click around on our shared google drive and find a new resource that you would like to try!
