Abstract:
Many Adult Basic Education (ABE) classes include students who are non-native English speakers. These English Language Learners (ELLs) often need different teaching approaches or additional support to be successful in ABE classes. This session from the 2016 COABE Conference explores the needs of ELLs and many ways ABE instructors can teach and support them. ATTACHMENTS: Teach Support ELLs in ABE COABE 2016 Martin

Abstract:
It's all about the Support Services: Case Management Services for the 21st century adult education and workforce development programs. New York State Adult Education Department offers a unique approach to literacy development through its Literacy Zones, an initiative spearheaded by the New York State Board of Regents and the State Education Department to bridge the achievement gap and provide a systemic focus on literacy from birth to adulthood. Adult Education students who visit any of the 51 Literacy Zones throughout New York State benefit from adult education classes, self-directed learning technologies, and crucial case management support that helps overcome barriers due to inadequate housing, healthcare, financial resources, and opportunities for employment. Providers will gain an understanding of the process of case management as a service delivery model and how it differs from other social work approaches. This process includes outreach, intake and eligibility determination, assessment, education service plan, documentation and record-keeping, and outcomes evaluation. They will understand how some social workers identify as case managers when engaging in such work. ATTACHMENTS: Its All About the Support Services2

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic math professional development video for teachers in which an adult educator demonstrates to a High School Completion Program student some important test taking strategies. He thinks his way through a question, sorts through and deals with the parts of the question, revisits the question's information as he needs to, and pieces it back together. He comes up with a solution that he is confident in. He models his problem solving process out loud, he says, so that students can see how it works, so they can do it themselves, so they become independent learners The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=83
