Launched in 2018, the challenge focused on the creation of bold, sustainable career pathways approaches for low-income adults (aged 26+) for a chance to win $100,000 in prize money. Over 115 teams applied from around the country and were narrowed down to 10 semi-finalists that pitched their diverse concepts to a panel of experts judges and live audience. Now it is time to bid farewell and celebrate the teams’ rich and timely lessons learned, which are shared in the MTMU Toolkit: A Collection of Place-Based Solutions for Future Adult Career Pathways Models. During this engaging discussion, you will hear from the teams that participated in the challenge and the project’s key partners—IEL, COABE, and NASDAE—as they discuss how to use the toolkit’s key principles of being adaptable, removing barriers, and maximizing potential to innovate within adult career pathways, even during a pandemic.

Abstract:
Research suggests that a major stumbling block to understanding algebra, for students at all levels, stems from not developing an understanding of the equal sign. In this webinar, participants will learn how students at all levels; ABE, ESOL, and HSE alike; can construct meaning in algebraic equations by examining relationships on opposite sides of the equal sign. Participants will understand how to use simple instructional routines, visual models, and online resources to help students develop conceptual understanding of equality and add depth to the process of “what you do to one side of the equal sign you have to do to the other side.” No prior expertise in algebra is needed.
