Abstract:
It's all about the Support Services: Case Management Services for the 21st century adult education and workforce development programs. New York State Adult Education Department offers a unique approach to literacy development through its Literacy Zones, an initiative spearheaded by the New York State Board of Regents and the State Education Department to bridge the achievement gap and provide a systemic focus on literacy from birth to adulthood. Adult Education students who visit any of the 51 Literacy Zones throughout New York State benefit from adult education classes, self-directed learning technologies, and crucial case management support that helps overcome barriers due to inadequate housing, healthcare, financial resources, and opportunities for employment. Providers will gain an understanding of the process of case management as a service delivery model and how it differs from other social work approaches. This process includes outreach, intake and eligibility determination, assessment, education service plan, documentation and record-keeping, and outcomes evaluation. They will understand how some social workers identify as case managers when engaging in such work. ATTACHMENTS: Its All About the Support Services2

Abstract:
Simply put, area models are rectangles made of rows and columns that illustrate multiplication. From this simple foundation you can solve problems (multiplying fractions), approach challenges in new ways (long division), teach properties (distributive property), and introduce algebraic concepts in an accessible way (multiplying polynomials). Which applications could be useful in your context? ATTACHMENTS: Rectangles as Problem Solving Tools COABE 2015 Rectangles Handout

Abstract:
At this workshop, the NYC-based Community of Adult Math Instructors (CAMI) shared their process of staring a citywide math teachers' circle to collaborate with other teachers and expand their knowledge of mathematics. Participants attended a "CAMI Roadshow" meeting, where we engaged in an inquiry-based process of algebraic thinking through the use of visual patterns, problem-posing, and multiple strategies for problem-solving, including drawing, different ways of seeing, making charts/tables and making predictions and generalizations. We created a Google Drive folder with all of the materials from the workshop - Exploring Algebraic Thinking in a Teachers' Circle
