WORK HISTORY
Clip Instructor Esol Instructor @Queensborough Community College Of The City University Of New York Cuny
Teach content-based ESL to a diverse mixed-level class of 27 intermediate and advanced students 25 hours a week. Use American literature and New York City itself to integrate themes of Public Health, New York through the Eyes of Its Writers, and Crossing Boundaries.Create collaborative student-centered training to help students prepare for the CUNY entrance exam. Cover essays, reading comprehension, annotation, grammar (through course context), and preparation. Have the highest retention rate of teachers in the QCC program. Top moment was when NYU Literacy Review published an autobiographical story by my student from Ecuador. When enrollment dropped in 2019, was asked to partner with CUNY Central Office on CLIP curriculum development. Proposed we begin by defining clear measurable curriculum outcomes, spent a month researching options, recommended the Common Europe Framework of Reference (CEFR), observed English 101 classes to catalog required skills, and outlined content-based curriculum modifications and assignments to match outcomes.Invited to present my research on using story structure to teach and engage students at NYU Literacy Conference. Presented to 100 teachers in multiple workshops, received 5-star reviews. For ALL-CLIP Conference in May 2019, presented my Listening Workshop at multiple sessions as well as my TQE Workshop (Thoughts, Questions, Epiphanies) technique that dramatically increases student engagement.

ABOUT JENNIFER AULT
Bring creative and holistic approach to the ESOL and adult literacy profession. Years of providing professional development workshops, teaching and engaging adult learners and managing language programs have made me comfortable with many environments, cultures, values, settings, places and ideas. A confident speaker and presenter, I can read a room and hold my audience\'s attention. Strategic thinker with ability to establish goals and outcome measures. I have consistently helped improve outcomes by assessing what needed to be changed and then trained teams to make the necessary adjustments to meet academic and operational goals. Strong interpersonal communicator known for highly collaborative, trusted and positive relationships with students, colleagues and program managers. Organized, efficient, always dependable. Proactive, flexible and able to work both independently and as a team member. Technical toolbox includes multiple Learning Management Systems, designing modular interactive training materials, survey systems, data-base maintenance, videos, social media, podcasts and PowerPoint. Regular explorer of OER materials. Dubbed a “techno-social-cultural adventurist” by a colleague, constantly study new technology to make teacher training more effective. I’m never afraid to try something new.
