Abstract:
Student engagement can be a challenge in any classroom, and it becomes even more difficult when technology introduces additional boundaries and limitations. Join New Mexico Distance Education & Learning Technology (DELT) Master Teacher Cash Clifton in exploring best practices in online student engagement. Participants will learn about best practices in online teaching, communication skills to foster student motivation, techniques for respecting cultural diversity, and maintaining healthy boundaries with students.

Abstract:
FUHSD Adult School in California has an explicit focus on Academic Readiness. Specifically, we define Academic Readiness as: The ability to be successful in the current and next learning venue which includes developing self-advocacy, taking responsibility for educational goals and communicating effectively. Learn how our ABE and ASE induction system and orientation begins with academic readiness training (SOAR) prior to students stepping foot in a classroom. Find out how we moved from very little student support to an abundance of student support that includes academic counseling, student case management, goal setting and self-assessment activities, flexible scheduling, built-in supports such as tutoring and a Learning Resource Center, academic field trips, book clubs and more. Further, get insight into how we have run staff development for classified, teaching, and administrative staff to unify our efforts around providing excellent and consistent student services.

Abstract:
Algebra can be as approachable as adding if we show our students where it already exists in their everyday lives. This COABE 2016 session will present new methods to teaching algebra as patterns, rules, equations, and lines on a graph while utilizing research-based tools, techniques, and resources learned from the Adult Numeracy Instruction -“ Professional Development (ANI-PD). Hands-on practice and ready-to-use resources will be provided.

TRAIN Tex (Training, Resource and Innovation Network) is the profession development system for Texas, which has evolved in response to WIOA and the Texas Workforce Commission's strategic plan, designed to integrate adult education services within the workforce system. TRAIN Tex expands professional development services beyond traditional adult education grantees and now includes non-funded organizations, workforce boards and employers. Professional development providers include a variety of organizations, working together in a network aimed at building the capacity of adult education service providers.

Abstract:
This workshop makes classroom action research practical and accessible. Formative assessment learning techniques combined with the professional development methods of classroom action research and communities of inquiry provide a mechanism for self-sustained continuing professional development at the local level (Creswell, 2012; Kerka, 2003). This workshop emphasizes collaborating and learning with peers about what happens in the classroom to find ways to make learning more effective and efficient. For adult educators, systemic inquiry and intellectual challenge are powerful sources of motivation, growth, and renewal- (Angelo & Cross, 1993, p.10). When students are participants in, as well as are the focus of, an active system of inquiry and intellectual challenge, they also receive the benefits of motivation, growth, and renewal.

Abstract:
Data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) shows that adults in the 86 haYe significantly loZer digital skills than adults in other developed nations and implies that library patrons may struggle to use digital library resources. Multnomah County Library and Portland State University are collaborating on a project to assess community members' digital skills using a valid and reliable test created by the Organization for Economic and Cooperative Development (OECD) known as Education and Skills Online (ESO). This session will explore assessment results. Presenters will discuss the ways the team has adapted the ESO assessment tool to suit the needs of the library and the community and what the team has learned so far about how the PSTRE framework relates to library tasks that a typical adult learner may perform to access education and employment opportunities.

Abstract:
Students from other countries learn different procedures for math operations and can become confused when trying to understand the standard algorithms taught in the U.S. But through the use of "number talk" instruction, ELLs explain their procedure for solving a problem. The instructor prompts the student and records and illustrates the student's thinking to develop all students' abilities in procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and adaptive reasoning. This workshop presents ideas for using number talks and gives opportunities to try them out. ATTACHMENTS: Integrating Diverse Learners Math
