Abstract:
If you have ever worked with an I-BEST (Integrated Basic Education Skills Training) program, you will know that I-BEST students fast track through both GED® testing and skills training through this nationally recognized instructional model. I-BEST students are quicker than their traditionally enrolled contemporaries to improve their basic skills in reading, writing, and math, complete their GED exam, and arrive at a career entry point. The downside to I-BEST is that it’s expensive. Heather has taught 4 I-BEST programs and has come to realize that there are ways to replicate components of I-BEST at very low or no additional cost to your program. This webinar will look at how, by making a few simple changes, we can help our traditionally enrolled students also get the best that our programs can offer.

Abstract:
Since 2014, the CUNY Adult Literacy/HSE Program has collaborated with the NYS Department of Education to create the NYSED Teacher Leader Initiative. This project has developed a community of teacher leaders across the state, dedicated to improving teaching practice in our field. These teacher leaders bring our training to educators in their regions, and develop resources and projects of their own. This workshop provides an overview and answers questions about the initiative. We'll use the voices of the NYSED Teacher Leaders themselves to reflect on the lessons we've learned about effective, ongoing, and engaging teacher development. This workshop is for teachers, administrators, state education directors - anyone interested in the resources developed and the lessons learned through this initiative. All materials from this workshop are available at bit.ly/COABE2018CUNY

Abstract:
About 59% of adult education students function between 4th and 9th grade. In order to have efficient success with these “middle-level” learners, programs need systems and methods designed specifically for these students. These learners (4th-9th) require a special strategy. Each student requires an effective individualized approach for their specific academic and emotional needs. Instructional systems in the middle levels can impact long-term success by ensuring fluency of basic skills competencies before advancement, developing independence and confidence, and by incorporating time into instruction and assessment. Join this session to explore methods from Pace Learning Systems designed specifically for the middle-level learner since 1977.

Abstract:
This presentation is designed to encourage instructors to utilize more cooperative group instruction in order to improve test scores, create meaningful connections between the instructor and student, and improve student engagement. Instructors will also gain knowledge of ways to make classrooms more student-centered and completion-focused while maintaining high expectations. Students in classrooms that are designed for success can expect to be accountable for their performance and achievement. http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/APina-Facilitationg-Group-Instruction.pptx
