Abstract:
Goal of a Correctional Educator 1. Evaluate and promote the rehabilitation of students with behavioral, psychological, and emotional problems. 2. Integrate literacy, life skills, and cognitive-behavioral intervention to this population embracing criminal and addictive thinking. 3. Identify and de-escalate potential, disruptive classroom problems in order to maintain control within their program. 4. Work at understanding the combative and resistant student while developing better and unbiased communication skills.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. The session was designed to familiarize participants with the scientific method by exploring how it plays out in experiments that can be conducted in any classroom, regardless of science lab materials. For example, data from the participants’ ruler drop experiment were used to analyze the reaction time of fighter pilots. We also examined how to identify the control, independent variable, and dependent variables, as well as draw a conclusion, in various scenarios from The Simpsons cartoon. We looked at content problems similar to what might be on the HSE test, and explored strategies and resources for teaching this content to students. Resources include exploring www.CK12.org and the National Institutes of Health Curriculum Supplement Series (https://science.education.nih.gov/customers/WebPages/CSHome.html). Both of these free resources are easily adaptable to a classroom, as well as online, and encourage students to interact and discover the scientific process along the way.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. This session provided participants with hands-on activities to explore the most common solid figures used on the HSE in an effort to discover how they might develop their own formulas for these shapes. By investigating the relationships and properties of these shapes, participants improved understanding of the meaning behind the formulas provided on the HSE tests. They also evaluated a workplace scenario in marketing to see how the SA and V of solid figures can influence how products are designed.

Abstract:
Effective instruction in reading, writing, and math is critical. Clearly teaching students how to learn, to be life-long learners, and to be able to generalize information in daily-life and the workplace is important. However, the ultimate goal in Adult Basic Education (ABE) is for students to obtain employment or advance in their current employment setting. Therefore, adult education should support all students, including those with special learning needs, as they move towards post-secondary education and training in support of career pathways and career development. With that said, one of the most important skills ABE students need to learn is “how” to learn. Participants in this session will begin to understand how to support students in becoming strategic learners. They will be introduced to techniques and strategies that: 1) more effectively teach reading, writing, and math skills, 2) teach students how to learn best for themselves, how to be life-long learners, and how to be able to generalize information to daily-life and the workplace settings and 3) teach using all modalities effectively so students can learn and remember information more easily. Participants will also begin to understand how to provide a full range of reading, writing, and or math instruction through activities in multi-level classes that include all learning styles. Examples of potential lessons and lesson activities will be provided.

Abstract:
Behavioral and cognitive problems resulting from mental disorders are major concerns for school administrators, educators and correction’s personnel. Under zero tolerance, suspension and expulsion from public schools, students of color and students with disabilities are not treated for these disorders and allowing many to become transitionally involved with our criminal justice system.
