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

Abstract:
Upping the Rigor: Vertically Aligning the Curriculum from ESL to ASE Presentation Abstract (500 word maximum): This description will be included in the program) In 2015, we presented our overall ABE/ASE program to a packed room. Our COABE title was SOAR: Upping the Game of Academic Rigor in ABE and ASE,- and we detailed our massive structural, policy and curricular shifts. This was a macro presentation about revamp our ABE and ASE program (independent study to direct instruction and little student services to full-time counseling, field trips, and more). Our student enrollment and number of graduates has more than doubled as a result of our changes; similarly, we have had large increases in student persistence and completion levels. The next step in our work has been in the area of curriculum alignment. Specifically, we have expanded our goal and are now deeply involved in vertically aligning the curriculum from beginning ESL through ABE/ASE. This curriculum alignment anchors each class level and accompanying common assessments to the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) and the Common Core Standards. Specifically we will share the following: Scaffolded activities, curriculum (including texts), and assessments that align the breadth and depth of the CCRSs; Layered assessments (within and between levels) that build to the final assessment rubric developed within the California State University System; Lesson plans that demonstrate what rigor looks like and sounds like in the classroom whether via a Shakespearean play; philosophical texts on logos, ethos and pathos; or written appeals to the United Nations about Syrian refugees. Our model of how teamwork, staff development, administrative support, curriculum planning and grading pay became part of our system of success.

Abstract:
The Transition Program at Hawkeye Community College's Metro Center is bigger and better than ever. This interactive session will illustrate how Adult Education's collaboration and partnerships with other agencies and programs proves essential to every student's successful transition to post secondary, especially in light of WIOA. Hawkeye's Transition Program builds internal partnerships with the English Language Learning (ELL) program, including instructors of Hawkeye's ELL hybrid college preparatory courses. Transition services play a key role in the High School Completion (HSC) program's Welcome Week, Hawkeye's new intake program for HSC students which uses components of Dr. Laura Weisel's PowerPath system. The Transition Program is also an instrumental part of Hawkeye's I-BEST program, and Hawkeye's full-time Transition Specialist works from the Admissions' Office on main campus weekly to continue paving students' path to college credit courses. A close partnership with Iowa Workforce Development ensures that students have access to the Youth Program, various employment opportunities, and multiple funding steams for their education. Participants will experience how Hawkeye's Transition Program has built the program's philosophy of collaboration, which includes components from Dr. Carol Dweck's research on mindset and from Powerpath's participatory learning techniques.
