Abstract:
While all programs focus on supporting adult learners and helping students reach real educational goals, sometimes the needs extend beyond what one organization can do. By really assessing and looking within your community, determining what partnerships should look like for your organization, and looking at research opportunities, adult literacy programs can expand their reach, create impact in their communities through being flexible and innovative, and help to bridge the gap between research and practical implementation of adult literacy programs.

Join math, science, and ESL adult educators to learn how to identify, use, modify, combine, and create open educational resources (OER) in an online environment. Bring your laptop/device and at least one science or math OER to modify (other OER will be provided too). We will evaluate these resources, revise and remix them, and consider licensing options for these newly created OER. This session is open to practitioners in all subject areas and promises to get you excited about using, creating, and sharing OER!

Abstract:
Because of its abstract nature, academic vocabulary is challenging to teach and to learn. Many adult learners, including native and non-native English speakers, lack the vocabulary needed to comprehend complex text, making upward transition difficult or impossible. In this COABE Conference 2016 presentation, participants were able to try several engaging and effective classroom activities to improve students' academic vocabulary. Appropriate for teachers of ABE/ASE and High Intermediate to Advanced ESL students. ATTACHMENTS: COABE 2016 Giving Bigger Better Vocab PPT COABE 2016 Giving Bigger Better Vocab Handout 1 1

Abstract:
How can we support ELLs as they learn numeracy? Does that happen in "math" class or in "English" class? ABE math teachers (who often teach math conceptually) and ELL teachers (who often teach math contextually, within life-skills topics) have much to learn from each other.

Abstract:
The National Education Technology Plan and the College and Career Readiness Standards present the field with a new way to think about requirements for student success and meeting the ever-changing demands of the workforce and education systems. In this interactive session, participants will work together to combine expertise with cutting edge technology that supports them to meet the need for new types of learning materials and instructional approaches. This can be achieved through open educational resources (OER). OER are free, adaptable, and sharable materials that can be created to develop student centered materials for the classroom, distance learning, and flipped classrooms. OER are significant for adult English language educators because they are free and sharable, able to be remixed and revised to meet learner needs, and customizable. Participants will do hands-on activities to: determine if a resource is open, integrate OER into instruction, and create and share OER. By creating OER teachers can increase student engagement while preparing them to be life-long learners and increase their 21st century skills. Through a project funded by the office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), two groups of Adult ESL Teachers engaged in all of these activities. Their successes and challenges will be used to demonstrate real world application. Participants are encouraged to bring laptops to fully engage in the learning experience.
