This is a collection of short reading exercises that utilize high frequency academic vocabulary in context. They can be used with adult students of English as a Second Language with intermediate-advanced reading proficiency or in a supplemental reading course/reading skills course at the community college level. Questions provide practice with lexical inference, topic and main idea identification, identification of different text types and text structures, and other key reading skills. (This is a work in progress - please check back for additional reading exercises and updates!)
This is a short presentation on SkillsCommons.org, an open library of industry specific materials for community colleges. SkillsCommons is funded by the Department of Labor's TAACCCT grant.
PechaKucha Edition
I wrote this in PechaKucha form, which means that each slide is only meant to be discussed for 20 seconds. Mine is slightly modified, as I do not have quite 20 slides, but that can always be modified for your purposes!

My passion is to help students seamlessly transfer from their original dream school (in one of the City Colleges of Chicago) to their four-year dream schools and to obtain funding. For that purpose, I have composed a book entitled Transfer Like a Rockstar! Tips on Transferring from Community College to Your New Four-year Dream School. I hope that you enjoy it!
Queer Chisme is a cultural intuitive way of knowing rooted in survival by womxn, queer, trans, and those at the margins to survive cisheteropatriarchal structures (Gonzalez, 2021; Gutierrez, 2017; Trujillo, 2020). The chisme exposes power imbalances and cultivates community and safety with those who we can build kinship with to resist and exist in collective spaces. I use chisme as a way to share care, to mobilize towards advocacy, and expose inequities in higher education (Gonzalez, 2021). I invite you to listen and use this queer chisme sensory audio experience to reflect, move towards healing, and learn more about the power within you.
