Abstract:
Most instructors will not study the pages and pages of standards available to effectively plan a lesson in a specific content area, yet they will use the amazing amounts of detail to guide the activities in the classroom. The mathematics standards provide an essential tool for guiding teachers toward instructional models to help students learn mathematics in ways that transform conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and applications so they become lifelong learners. Participants of this session will have the opportunity to analyze some standards line by line, paralleling the selection process considered by the Arizona Math Content Team in revising the state standards. Through the process, decisions need to be made whether a standard is useful, relevant, and worded correctly. As you work in small groups, you will understand the process of assessing current state standards and be prepared if asked to revise your own.

This workshop will guide instructors on how to contextualize social studies content (particularly civics & government) found on the Social Studies GED® test and connect that content with critical reading skills. It will begin with a model lesson using the essential question found in the title of the workshop: Who are “We the People?" The workshop will provide activities and texts adaptable and suitable for a variety of reading levels. It will model and encourage Freirian methods of instruction that stress student-led activities that increase critical thinking and contextualized learning. It will review and utilize adult learning principles.

The College of Southern Idaho College and Career Readiness Adult Basic Education program uses the checklist with new employees so that there is a common set of protocols followed by all participants. There are two tabs in the attached Excel workbook. One checklist is for instructors; one is for Intake Office Specialists. The checklist can be modified to address the needs of various employees. Mentors are assigned new instructors (mentees) and engage with the new instructor throughout the instructional year.

Abstract:
Math for the Multilevel Classroom: A Focus on Unit Measurement COABE Conference 2016 session A close look at the College and Career Readiness Mathematics Standards for adult education will uncover concepts, procedures, and applications that span all levels (A - E). How can an understanding of unit measurement help a higher-level math student? What does it have to do with algebra? In this session we'll explore unit measurement by working through a lesson that incorporates key concepts and procedures that are essential for beginning through high school equivalency level learners. We'll work with vocabulary, discussion questions, hands-on activities, and differentiated activities that you'll be able to take home and try in your own context.

Abstract:
What does a lesson built for student learning look like when learners come to programs with limited or interrupted formal education? Students who lack home language literacy and exposure to a formal classroom setting need explicit training about "classroom culture." Instructors need to use systematic scaffolding and other research-based techniques to effectively equip learners with transferrable skills for tomorrow's workforce and civic engagement.

Here is the link to the google folder for the PowerPoint handout and other resources from my COABE 2016 workshop. Presentation summary: Many adult English Language Learners receive six or fewer hours of instruction weekly. Yet research shows that more time is needed to achieve fluency. Drawing on experience with her own classes, the presenter will provide participants with insights into creating effective homework activities and projects that promote learner autonomy and augment classroom instruction. A variety of activities including the use of a homework blog, study partner logs and the concept of four-skills homework will be provided

A group of nine short, free, authentic professional development videos for teachers or tutors in which a team of ESOL/ESL family literacy teachers, and their volunteers, help immigrant mothers learning English to support their children's literacy. The videos are short, edited segments of a longer lesson. The videos will be found at this web page: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=85
