    Abstract:

    How do we bridge the gap between students’ current understanding of arithmetic to the higher level mathematics content that they need to learn? Brain science reveals that  students at all levels, ELL, ABE, & HSE alike, can cross this bridge by tapping into the visual processing centers of the brain. In this presentation, teachers will explore how a visual model can be used to help students to gain understanding of  the meaning and uses of variables, recognition of patterns and functions, and make connections to the language of algebra. Teachers will be able to connect their own learning with teaching in a multi-level classroom. The presentation includes links to additional materials including classroom-ready printable resources

    Abstract:

    ROUND TABLE HANDOUT: 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 Dev. Ed. courses at TCC have broadened perspectives on student capacity, exposed assumptions and stereotypes, and created opportunities for acceleration.

Participants will find the strategies presented in this workshop easily adaptable and suitable to students of varying learning styles and ability. Resources will help in developing lessons that apply the standards of mathematical practices in CCRS, focusing on the most difficult to teach concepts such as rational numbers, algebraic equations, proportions, statistics and functions. Workshop participants will receive a complete packet of resources which includes a workshop binder and a manipulatives starter kit that will enable participants to start applying the strategies immediately upon their return to their classroom/school.

    Abstract:

    According to the COABE Media Outreach Toolkit, one of the best ways for the adult education community to inform policy makers, funders, and the public of the work they’re doing is to share the success stories of their students, staff, and education programs. In this presentation, we will take a look at how education centers can expand their outreach efforts by taking advantage of some of the free resources offered by education vendors, including the creation and promotion of success stories.
