Could you use a little refresher on the Transitions Integration Framework and BurlingtonEnglish resources? All are welcome, and BE logins will be provided to those who do not have one. Successful learner transitions require intentional alignment between curriculum and outcomes. This session examines how BurlingtonEnglish supports the Transition Integration Framework by integrating language instruction with workforce readiness, career exploration, and real-world application. Participants will leave with an understanding of each of the 6 TIF categories and the ability to connect BE curriculum to real-world transitions outcomes and learner goals.

Describe the key components of the Transition Integration Framework (TIF) and their relevance to adult English language learners
Identify the Burlington English curriculum features that align with TIF domains, such as academic preparation, career readiness, and employability skills
Connect BurlingtonEnglish TIF-aligned activities to real-world transition outcomes, including career exploration and pathway planning
Apply TIF principles in the classroom to support specific learner goals
