Recent analysis and data collection on newly arrived migrant inclusivity and social integration in the classroom has proven difficulties arise during assimilation.

Drawing on the insights provided from international perspectives and practices, one can learn and implement a multitude of strategies to support EAL students in classrooms worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>EAL support practices are grounded in the work of Michael Evans (2020) and have a universal approach through the research of the complex relationship between language, education, and the social integration of newcomer migrant children.

Cain argues that extroversion is overly venerated at work and in education due to a shift from a \u201cCulture of Character\u201d to a \u201cCulture of Personality\u201d in response to moving toward a business-centered, urbanized lifestyle that champions the selling of one\u2019s self and ideas. She makes a distinction between extroversion to lead passive group members and introversion to support proactive group members in enhancing the quality and creativity of outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a favor toward extroversion, the power of introverts, such a being reflective, sensitive, creative, attentive, and a strong listener is drowned out by the overstimulation from the excessive use of group work, lack of solitude and autonomy, and a cultural ethos of seeing introversion as a personality flaw rather than a set of traits to be championed and practiced by others to achieve more balance in work and at school.<\/p>\n<p>The goals of this presentation are to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduce introversion and extroversion as a response to stimulation.<\/li>\n<li>Provide the research behind the biology, temperament, and sociology related to introverts.<\/li>\n<li>Illustrate the bias toward extroversion in our schools and workplace.<\/li>\n<li>Argue the positive contribution that can result from the inclusion of introverts.<\/li>\n<li>Share strategies on how to foster the inclusion of introverts in school.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/829878695\/e3dd65bde7\"><strong>Watch the presentation on Vimeo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-anchor-id=\"insight-into-adult-learners-and-possible-methodology-for-vocational-career-training-i-sales-within-sales\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" id=\"accordion-label-insight-into-adult-learners-and-possible-methodology-for-vocational-career-training-i-sales-within-sales\" aria-controls=\"accordion-content-insight-into-adult-learners-and-possible-methodology-for-vocational-career-training-i-sales-within-sales\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-title sow-accordion-title-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInsight into Adult Learners and Possible Methodology for Vocational Career Training I Sales within Sales\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#x2b;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf068;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-accordion-panel-content\"\n\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-label-insight-into-adult-learners-and-possible-methodology-for-vocational-career-training-i-sales-within-sales\"\n\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-content-insight-into-adult-learners-and-possible-methodology-for-vocational-career-training-i-sales-within-sales\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none;\"\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-border\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><u>Title of Presentation:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Insight into Adult Learners and Possible Methodology for Vocational Career Training I Sales within Sales<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Presenter Name and Credentials:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>David Frankel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EdD in Instructional Leadership Candidate<\/p>\n<p>吃瓜头条<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Summary:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adults learn differently than their younger counterparts.\u00a0 They have extensive, pragmatic life experiences which shape education requirements in adulthood.\u00a0 They may experience major pressures for lifestyle changes which might include needs for continuing and enhanced productivity, better self-definition, and ongoing responsibility for their families and others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adults may choose a career change into sales to improve their life situations and future expectations.\u00a0 Those involved in the sales training process should be cognitive of their adult students' psyche and motivation and create a learning environment which is conducive to their learners' needs and goals.
