Abstract:
How can you prepare your students and program for computer literacy, critical thinking, and the high school equivalency (HSE) exams all at the same time? Do you feel you could get more value out of your investment in technology and computer-based curricula? Join two blended learning specialists from Essential Education for examples of how adult education programs have successfully used blended learning in their classrooms. We will use algebra lessons as a model to transform existing adult education classes into blended learning. Come to get your questions answered, share your successes, and make technology work for you.You must be logged in to download this resource. Register now if you don't have an account.
Abstract:
Using the CCRS's multiple references to the number line, this numeracy session uses the number line as the focus of "Coherence" from the beginning, definition of number sets through Algebraic thinking. We investigate the age-old question, "Why is a negative times a negative a positive?" We explore basic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and continue on to solve simple algebraic equations.You must be logged in to download this resource.

Take time to dig into the standards learners need to pass the writing portions of the GED® 2014 & develop a learning plan for the students in your context. Presenter shared promising practices for instructional strategies for scaffolding student learning. The presenter also shared what effective feedback in writing looks like and promising practices for providing effective assessment.You must be logged in to download this resource.

Abstract:
Why Before How by Jana Hazekamp focuses on developing and emphasizing algebraic reasoning and critical thinking skills over finding the answer to a math problem. This session, based on Hazekamp's book, will look at specific strategies and methods of instruction designed to develop critical numeracy skills in every learner—and lay a solid foundation on which to build future mathematics.Building on Number Bonding Building on Vertical Addition NRS 1-4 Math Overviews Number Bonding Template Simon Says -- Use with Algebra Tiles Ten and 100 Grid Frames Translate into Mathematical Expressions Why Before How -- ABE MathYou must be logged in to download this resource.

Abstract:
Urban libraries in Rhode Island are collaborating with adult education and workforce professionals to expand services to adults. Programs include teacher-supported, technology-enabled spaces for connected learning; personalized digital literacy assistance; and accessibility services. This interactive session will explore the potential fo new learning and workforce models in libraries. (Join us Friday afternoon at 1:45 in L4 Sandstone!)
