TRAIN Tex (Training, Resource and Innovation Network) is the profession development system for Texas, which has evolved in response to WIOA and the Texas Workforce Commission's strategic plan, designed to integrate adult education services within the workforce system. TRAIN Tex expands professional development services beyond traditional adult education grantees and now includes non-funded organizations, workforce boards and employers. Professional development providers include a variety of organizations, working together in a network aimed at building the capacity of adult education service providers.

Abstract:
Making a shift to more rigorous instruction means conceptual understanding and application in real-world contexts have importance equal to procedural skill and fluency. With that in mind, we'll look at a sample unit that uses a discovery approach to teaching mathematics. This approach is one of the building tools used to create a strong foundation of conceptual understanding in our students. The building blocks of this unit include six lessons that can be used to bring CCR Level B -“ D students to a higher level. Coherence between levels and connected ideas provides the mortar to use these building blocks to achieve a solid base for algebra. Activities for the session include mental math exercises to illustrate several of the properties of operations, writing expressions using bingo chip arrays, and looking at student work. Participants will leave with access to a unit of six lessons and the digital materials to teach this unit in their own classrooms, as well as their own deeper understanding of the properties of operations. See the end of the slides for more detailed instructions on accessing the unit at achieve.org/equip. ATTACHMENTS: Conceptual Understanding of the Order of Operations COABE 2015 SLIDES1

Abstract:
This workshop makes classroom action research practical and accessible. Formative assessment learning techniques combined with the professional development methods of classroom action research and communities of inquiry provide a mechanism for self-sustained continuing professional development at the local level (Creswell, 2012; Kerka, 2003). This workshop emphasizes collaborating and learning with peers about what happens in the classroom to find ways to make learning more effective and efficient. For adult educators, systemic inquiry and intellectual challenge are powerful sources of motivation, growth, and renewal- (Angelo & Cross, 1993, p.10). When students are participants in, as well as are the focus of, an active system of inquiry and intellectual challenge, they also receive the benefits of motivation, growth, and renewal.
