As many of you know, USA Learns is an excellent free website that helps adults learn English and prepare for U.S. Citizenship. You may not know, however, that USA Learns has a separate teacher site which allows teachers to create online classes and monitor their students’ progress.
I’m reaching out to see if you can recommend tech-savvy teachers from your sites who are moving their instruction online and would be willing to utilize USA Learns as their Distance Learning curriculum during the COVID 19 crisis. USA Learns was developed at SCOE and the project director, Andrea Willis, would like to obtain recordings of teachers utilizing USA Learns with students. Teachers will need to be willing to record their lessons with students via Zoom or another similar platform and share a few of their best recordings. Please note that no additional compensation is available beyond what your teachers are being paid by your districts.
Interested teachers can learn more about USA Learns by registering for and attending this upcoming OTAN webinar:
