Abstract:
What are the “keys” to an effective professional development (PD) program? What do those components look like in practice? Find out what the new LINCS PD Center learned from researching and interviewing leaders in the field. Join this session to discuss and reflect on effective PD programming under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) in support of high-quality adult education programs. We’ll share what we learned from the iterature review, interviews with selected state leaders, and the synthesis of narrative NRS reports. And don’t miss the wrap-up!! We’ll conclude by sharing what technical assistance and PD activities the LINCS PD Center has available to help states establish or operate high-quality PD programs and how to access these services.

Abstract:
Do you know who wrote the Federalist Papers? Do you know who was the first Postmaster General of the United States? Can you name two cabinet-level positions in the U.S. Government? Learning Civics is essential for English language learners trying to live, work, and study in the United States. Civics classes can provide learners with the opportunity and information they need to be successful in our competitive society. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn and practice methods for increasing learner retention in ESL Civics and Citizenship courses. Participants will discuss how to design an ESL civics course and what topics to include in the curriculum. Participants will review the skills and vocabulary required to pass the U.S. Citizenship reading, writing, and civics exams. They will examine how to incorporate activities and technology into the classroom that utilize those skills and terms. Participants will also review a multitude of civics print, video, and online resources for instructors and learners. http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/pathways-to-citizenship-8fqq7-db8-f.zip

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.

This presentation is designed to encourage instructors to utilize more cooperative group instruction in order to improve test scores, create meaningful connections between the instructor and student, and improve student engagement. Instructors will also gain knowledge of ways to make classrooms more student-centered and completion-focused while maintaining high expectations. Students in classrooms that are designed for success can expect to be accountable for their performance and achievement. http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/APina-Facilitationg-Group-Instruction.pptx
