OVAE just sent out a notice about the following resource. The website is: www.elcivicsonline.org.
English Literacy/Civics education (EL/C) teachers have a new online opportunity that helps them use U.S. history to teach English language literacy to adults. The course was created with funding from OVAE and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Office of Citizenship. The course features tutorials on lesson planning and adapting materials. Online courses in U.S. government, naturalization, and rights and responsibilities of citizens are expected this spring.
Please give this resource a look – we hope that it helps!
