How do standards help improve teacher effectiveness and guide professional learning? Learn how AZ's Adult Education Professional Learning System (AAEPLS) is designed based on the Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning, the AZ Adult Education Teacher Standards, and the AZ Adult Education Content Standards. These sets of standards are used to guide the planning, implementation, and evaluation of professional learning at the state and local program levels. This webinar will help adult educators-especially professional developers and administrators- to build a professional learning system to support the needs of adult educators.

This webinar will explore the numerous ways career pathways can be designed and implemented to comply with WIOA regulations. From bridge programs to Integrated Education and Training (IET), the components that contribute to successful programs will be discussed, including understanding employer measures and using Labor Market Information (LMI) to build —or enhance—your career pathways program. Learn how to incorporate strategies for adult career pathways into your instructional program using contextualized curriculum. This webinar will define specific lessons, strategies, and activities that can be implemented in your classrooms to give your students the career counseling they missed when they left school. You are their career counselor. WIOA expanded the purpose of Title II to include assisting adults to transition to postsecondary education and training leading to employment. Adult educators are tasked to develop and deliver adult career pathways systems that will successfully transition low-skilled adults to postsecondary education and employment. Our classrooms are now a place where students learn not only the academics for credential success but also the workforce skills for career success.

Abstract:
The new HSE tests are now over a year into implementation and, as may not be a surprise to many people, the mathematics portion continues to provide the biggest challenge to many of our adult learners. In order to clear the raised bar of mathematics mastery in the world of new tests, higher standards, and a 21st-century economy that increasingly requires post-secondary education and training (and...MORE math!) we must improve the foundations upon which our students' mathematics is based. This session focuses on the most missed math concepts of the new HSE tests as well as important data from PIAAC, and works backward to the core foundations (and instructional best practices for building these foundations) needed for increased student success in mathematics on test day and beyond. #COABE2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klxruT1V5Eo&t=15s
