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:
How can adult education instructors maximize teaching time in the classroom? Use interdisciplinary infographics! This presentation explores how ready-made authentic infographics can be used as a tool to engage students in constructing meaningful knowledge, and gaining conceptual understanding, of real-life math as they explore it through the lens of infographics. This presentation contains links to resources that model how students can create their own infographics that demonstrate their understanding of, and connections within and between, a specific content area and the numeric data that supports the subject matter. Though this presentation focuses on how infographics can be used in the math classroom, connections to social studies and writing activities are made explicit. The resource section provides educators with numerous websites that they can access to get started using infographics in the classroom. In the workshop at COABE 2016, we created a simple infographic which is pictured. ATTACHMENTS: How To Contextualize Math Using Infographics 1

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
