    Abstract:

    Over the past several years, Literacy New York successfully developed and implemented online tutor training in its statewide network of 34 agencies. Building on this success, LNY expanded the training to include teachers of adults who range in grade level equivalency 3 through 8 to better equip educators to meet WIOA requirements. The training includes training in reading, math, English language learning, and employability soft skills. In this session, participants will learn about why the training was developed, the roll out to the network, its effectiveness, and the fundamentals of the expansion. Participants are encouraged to bring their smartphones, tablets, or computers to log in to the training to see first-hand how it works. Participants will also learn how the training is managed and the how it has helped tutor and teacher recruitment, saved money, and removed logistical problems.

    Abstract:

    Do you get frustrated with students using their cell phones in class? Turn that problem into a possibility! Students come alive as they work in teams with student team leaders using their cell phones as game controllers. I’ve never had more fun in class than when doing these Kahoot! quizzes, and the students love them! It’s a great way to get students to interact with each other and to review. As a teacher, you can see how well the students are learning. These quizzes are designed to correlate with the “I’m Not Afraid . . . Anymore!” curriculum for GED®-HSE Math and Writing, and ESL Writing, but they can be used with, or modified for, other curriculum. Come Kahoot! with us in this presentation and join the fun.

    Abstract:

    Supporting ABE students’ academic success means advocating for institutional change beyond the borders of ABE programs. Our goal is to generate dialogue about the culture of ABE at our institutions to identify opportunities for student-centered initiatives that open college pathways for ABE students. Combined co-taught ABE and Development Education courses at TCC have broadened perspectives on student capacity, exposed assumptions and stereotypes, and created opportunities for acceleration. Through collaborative inquiry, learning from student voice, and focused discussion, participants will critically examine their programs to discover potential areas of growth. Strategies for merging curriculum, developing stakeholder buy-in, and shifting cultural paradigms will be shared, along with lessons learned.Creative Commons LicenseCreative Commons License House United by Blaine Hunt and Allison Muir is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
