Abstract:
This webinar will ask you to rethink your approach to technology integration and explore how technology under WIOA should be implemented in classrooms. Whether an expert or novice, this webinar will give you a framework to support strategic technology integration that creates digital literacy and citizenship. Students will learn how to use technology they way in which they are expected to in the world of post secondary education and the workforce. This webinar introduces instructors to more realistic and naturally aligned technology options so they can better create digitally literate students who can practice digital citizenship. Students should be able to not just survive but thrive in a technology-based society, and this webinar gives ideas and tools on how their educators can get them there.

Abstract:
How do urban adult education providers design and implement career pathways (CP)? This presentation highlights findings from in-depth, qualitative case studies of six CP programs offered by community colleges, CBOs, and a school district in Chicago, Houston, and Miami. Key features of CP programs are described and compared, including their goals, instructional components, instructor expertise, staffing, support services, and access for lower-level students, among others. Salient factors that contribute to student success are also discussed, including wraparound supports, partnerships, bridge classes, and more.

Abstract:
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is dramatically different than previous legislation for adult education. Presenters will address these changes and how they will affect professional development. Participants will share in small groups what they are already doing to address the changes and what they will institute in the future. This will be not only a “what needs to be done” session, but also a “how to do it” session. Participants will be given a new professional development framework and a tool box on how to get started.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. The session was designed to familiarize participants with the scientific method by exploring how it plays out in experiments that can be conducted in any classroom, regardless of science lab materials. For example, data from the participants’ ruler drop experiment were used to analyze the reaction time of fighter pilots. We also examined how to identify the control, independent variable, and dependent variables, as well as draw a conclusion, in various scenarios from The Simpsons cartoon. We looked at content problems similar to what might be on the HSE test, and explored strategies and resources for teaching this content to students. Resources include exploring www.CK12.org and the National Institutes of Health Curriculum Supplement Series (https://science.education.nih.gov/customers/WebPages/CSHome.html). Both of these free resources are easily adaptable to a classroom, as well as online, and encourage students to interact and discover the scientific process along the way.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. This session provided participants with hands-on activities to explore the most common solid figures used on the HSE in an effort to discover how they might develop their own formulas for these shapes. By investigating the relationships and properties of these shapes, participants improved understanding of the meaning behind the formulas provided on the HSE tests. They also evaluated a workplace scenario in marketing to see how the SA and V of solid figures can influence how products are designed.

Abstract:
Pennsylvania is faced with the same challenges as other states across the country; many employers cannot find skilled workers to hire, and numerous job seekers have barriers to getting back into the labor force. This webinar will explore some data about the skills gap that Pennsylvania faces, especially with the challenges of helping to educate and upskill those with barriers to employment (such as low literacy levels or inconsistent work history). It will also outline a couple of solutions that adult educators and workforce development boards can invest in (such as integrated education and training) that will help bridge this skill gap and help our communities grow and will provide best practices that can be used across the nation.
