The annual Dollar General Research to Practice Award recognizes a research paper published in ProLiteracy’s Adult Literacy Education journal in the prior year that has the most potential to impact practice at the classroom level. The 2024 winning paper was “You Don’t Know What I Went Through”: Adult Learners Healing Through Multimodal Play, by Rachael Gruen of The Ancona School. Findings from this study suggest multimodal play creates opportunities for students to make choices about the stories they tell and make connections as a way to feel a sense of belonging in education spaces, both of which act as a source of healing. Join us to learn more about this important research and how you can put it into practice in your program.

In this webinar, Kara will identify key methods for decoding graphs, charts, tables, and maps on the HSE tests.
