As education continues to adapt to the wreckage left behind by Covid-19 the hybrid classroom has emerged as a critical tool for teachers in the field of Adult Basic Education. We’ve rounded up some best practices to help educators effectively engage and empower adult learners in the hybrid classroom.
In 2023 we saw a shift from virtual to in person and continued advances in technology that impacted both adult learners and educators. Hybrid classrooms are more common, and the rapid acceleration of AI has created both opportunities and challenges in the field of education.

It’s August. Where did the summer go? Like most teachers, you’re probably looking toward September, thinking about what might invigorate your lesson planning, and even taking inspiration from wherever your summer took you. If you’re looking for ideas, we have resources that can help.
Now that the summer months are in full swing, classes are paused for many learners, including adult learners. This time away from the classroom can offer the opportunity to practice language and literacy skills in a way that’s enjoyable and can happen almost anywhere – reading for pleasure.
