Research AND Practical Solutions: Digital Tools to Support Teaching and Learning from the CREATE Network
The CREATE Adult Skills Network’s six research projects are exploring innovations that address the needs of adult learners through technology-enabled instruction and assessment. Session attendees will visit demonstrations of the different edtech tools the research teams are testing and see how they support aspects such as personalized assessments, leverage AI, boost access to open/free digital content, promote digital learning, and creatively use technology to support math, writing, reading, and civics education.

Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era
This session engages participants in a new technology-enabled mathematics course developed in the IES-funded Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era (ANDE) project. The course utilizes relevant, contextualized mathematics content; collaborative learning; adaptive mathematical supports; digital literacy supports; and social-emotional interventions that promote self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Participants will engage in hands-on collaborative math tasks, engage with mindset interventions, and reflect on implications of the curricular and instructional design for local instruction.

Empowering Adult Numeracy and Digital Literacy Educators to Create Broad, Learning Mindset-Supportive Environments
For many adult learners, mathematics poses challenges to their conceptions of themselves as math learners that call for innovative and responsive instruction. This session focuses on strategies for creating broad environments that support positive learning mindsets in mathematics. Drawing from the PD program of Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era, a project developing a technology-enabled mathematics course, participants experience and reflect on research-based routines designed to foster collaboration and authentic discourse and promote learning mindsets.
