Having beginning-level skills does not mean a learner has limited potential. Yet in our effort to support struggling adult learners, we may unintentionally remove the very thinking, challenge, and relevance that help them grow. Explore how educators can make learning accessible without making it simplistic—or childish. Attendees will discover practical ways to scaffold complex tasks, use respectful real-world materials, build confidence through achievable steps, and maintain meaningful expectations. The goal is not to make learning easier; it is to make success possible.
