We are looking for teachers to share their expertise, knowledge and experience online with the community. We look forward to the time that we can have more in-person workshops and courses, but until then we’d like to promote teaching and learning from the convenience of our own homes. Ellsworth Adult Education will provide technical support including:

ZOOM basics for instructors;
tips for teaching online for instructors;
registration management for learners;
tech support for learners;
online support during the classes (tech support for instructor & managing the chat); and
emailing/mailing of materials to learners.

Register for this session to explore the possibilities. We’d love to have you join us! This is a live online session.

Free More Info

Ellsworth Adult Education is recruiting English language learners and we are eager to match each of these learners with someone in the community interested in meeting people from other countries and cultures and supporting them by holding one to one conversations.

We are currently promoting two ELL classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings with Intermediate/Advanced 5:45pm-6:45pm and Beginning from 7pm-8pm so we are seeking people to join in for these sessions.

Some learners may want to meet at a different time or prefer to meet on ZOOM so there are lots of potential options. We are just building this component of our programming so we would love volunteers to assist us in reaching out to potential learners as well.

Please come to this session or call us at 664.7110 to schedule an in person or ZOOM meeting with Annie Sargent.

Frugal Living for Today’s World

with Jill Gott

Sep

September 18th to October 30th, 2021

$59 More Info

Choosing to live frugally is a creative endeavor. Not as one would paint a portrait, write a book, or sculpt a statue but in all reality being frugal allows one to rewrite past messages, paint a new picture and sculpt a new life. As you learn the differences between frugality and being cheap, you will see yourself opening to new ideas, new techniques and to new adventures.

The goal of this class is for you to develop a variety of skills: to be comfortable looking for and asking for discounts when appropriate; learning how to use technology to access store coupons and other helpful information; developing knowledge of the areas in which you can save more money, such as when purchasing sports equipment, food, clothes, even craft supplies and other items.

When you leave this class, we want you to feel empowered and to understand that you are capable of living a good life, all the while being frugal. This is an in-person class.

No class 9/25/2021. Make up date (if needed) _________
