2024 Iowa Adult Education & Literacy Conference

Adult Ed programs everywhere are finding it harder and harder to keep up with the intake, record keeping, and reporting involved in walking with students through their adult education journeys. The time it takes to ensure compliance for these processes can eat away at the precious little time we have to actually work with students.  Every aspect of our programming--enrollment, English language learning, high school equivalency, career certification, employment, and now even advocacy—requires that we keep good records while also delivering the great services that adult education has to offer.  In this presentation we will share strategies for streamlining these tasks and utilizing tools and resources to make record keeping as streamlined as possible, allowing for more time to actually be spent in direct contact with students. We will share strategies and case studies of schools we have helped so that attendees can implement what they learn right away!
