Adult & Community Education
Tuesday in the Know - April 3, 2018
Message from the Leadership Team.
A large part of what we do with our students is not just academics or language acquisition but motivating and empowering our students and community. Back in January, LWTC had the opportunity to bring in a guest speaker, "The Cuban Guy", who spoke to all day time students about his experience as a refugee from Cuba. On Thursday, April 19 we have the opportunity to bring back "The Cuban Guy" to share, energize and motivate all of our evening students. We are encouraging EVERYONE to attend this exciting event. Over the next few weeks we ask all of you to share the date with your students. Please let students know that we will be organizing transportation from their site to LWTC. Again, we are very excited to have the opportunity to bring ALL our students from our sites together at LWTC.
Take a look at what he is all about. "The Cuban Guy" Parent/Teacher Event.

It is never to early to start practicing listening strategies for the CASAS test at the end of the semester. If you aren't aware already, Burlington English is a great teacher resource to practice listening and reading test taking skills.
The students have been enjoying using the individual whiteboards (which are found at all sites) to practice listening questions on BE.
