Abstract:
Fewer than half of first-time-in-college students ever enroll in, let alone successfully complete, their English Composition requirement in college. Why is this the case, and what can we-”as Adult Education instructors-”do to ensure our students will be successful beyond our classrooms? In this workshop, discover the 5 key skills your college-bound students must possess to master college-level writing-”and thus succeed in college.

Abstract:
In 2014, Texas transferred the AEFLA program to the Texas Workforce Commission ushering in a new era for adult education and bringing the program in line with student, community and stakeholder demand. Texas began building a Career Pathway system to serve adult education participants with new opportunities across the state. Through a tiered design of pathways into postsecondary, integrated education and training, specialized ESL programs for foreign trained professionals, or workplace literacy in partnership with employers, Texas launched a statewide effort to drive increased student success for college and employment outcomes. The Texas state director and career pathway lead outline the strategic model and driving factors in the system transformation. Detail on the statewide system design, core program components, models of implementation, integration dynamics, and the process for documenting practice across a diverse provider system of 34 entities. as included.

Abstract:
Performance improvement and accountability are hallmarks of service delivery under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Texas initiated a statewide quality model for local AEFLA provider program management after the state adult education program transferred to the Texas Workforce Commission in 2013. This slide show explains how the state and local programs collaborate to drive increased student success using a data-driven approach across educational, and postsecondary transition and employment outcomes. The presentation describes organizational roles in a system approach that includes monthly local performance and expenditure reporting, state office provider support, professional development linked to program improvement, monthly executive staff briefing, external monitoring and evaluation, and corrective action and continuous improvement support.+ ATTACHMENTS: ContinuousImprovementandAccountabilityTexasStyle_COABE2016

Abstract:
Order of Operations: Sometimes, Always or Never? Many of us learned that the "Order of Operations" as a random rule someone made up, and we all have to follow it to get the same answer. As we dig into math, specifically using the mathematical shifts of the College and Career Readiness Standards, we look at things from a very different perspective. We no longer need to accept the order of operations as the rule, simply "because", instead let's investigate it and find some meaning. In this session, we will use our mathematical properties (commutative properties, associative properties, distributive property, etc) to explore our basic operations. With a solid mathematical foundation we will then look at "PEMDAS" in the context of the mathematical shift of rigor.

Using the CCRS's multiple references to the number line, this numeracy session uses the number line as the focus of "Coherence" from the beginning, definition of number sets through Algebraic thinking. We investigate the age-old question, "Why is a negative times a negative a positive?" We explore basic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and continue on to solve simple algebraic equations.

Abstract:
New technologies can help offer targeted study paths to personalize and accelerate math review. Hear about early experiences with EdReady.org, a new tool from the non-profit NROC Project--designed to support such efforts. Panelists will share lessons learned in adapting the platform to serve adult learners, in Kentucky and California, and to assist professional development efforts, in Colorado.
