Abstract:
Since 2014, the CUNY Adult Literacy/HSE Program has collaborated with the NYS Department of Education to create the NYSED Teacher Leader Initiative. This project has developed a community of teacher leaders across the state, dedicated to improving teaching practice in our field. These teacher leaders bring our training to educators in their regions, and develop resources and projects of their own. This workshop provides an overview and answers questions about the initiative. We'll use the voices of the NYSED Teacher Leaders themselves to reflect on the lessons we've learned about effective, ongoing, and engaging teacher development. This workshop is for teachers, administrators, state education directors - anyone interested in the resources developed and the lessons learned through this initiative. All materials from this workshop are available at bit.ly/COABE2018CUNY

This PDF is a collection of handouts used in the workshop session conducted by Steve Hinds at the 2018 COABE National Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Keep in mind if you download and print this resource that many printers will automatically "shrink to fit" a PDF, reducing the size of the images . This ruins the segments and figures that are meant to be drawn using actual rulers. Make sure to turn off this setting if you print the resource.

Abstract:
Stretched budgets and part-time teachers present challenges for providing meaningful learning experiences that meet the criteria of effective professional development. Yet, part-time teachers, separated by schedules and geography, seek ongoing opportunities to connect with peers and learn collaboratively. This presentation demonstrates how one state used digital tools to engage adult education teachers in meaningful learning experiences. Join this session to learn techniques to overcome barriers to participation in professional development and explore tools for engaging in effective professional development opportunities.

Abstract:
While the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) prepare students for academic and workforce success, they provide limited support for students who are not proficient in English and need additional language support. The English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards for Adult Education (AE) can help career and technical education administrators and educators ensure that their English language learners (ELLs) receive the focused and effective instruction they need to meet the CCRS. This session will examine why the ELP standards for AE were developed and how adult education teachers can use them in their classrooms to ensure that ELLs have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Abstract:
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a large system with 35 adult prisons, is in the second year of expanding horizons by implementing a large reform effort to base both academic and career technical instruction on evidence-based practices. An important piece of the project is the implementation of a professional learning community at each institution. Professional learning communities have been adopted widely in K12 and more and more in adult education. The corrections environment offers some specific but not insurmountable challenges. Attend this session to hear about the challenges, the successes, and the lessons learned so far.

Abstract:
Most instructors will not study the pages and pages of standards available to effectively plan a lesson in a specific content area, yet they will use the amazing amounts of detail to guide the activities in the classroom. The mathematics standards provide an essential tool for guiding teachers toward instructional models to help students learn mathematics in ways that transform conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and applications so they become lifelong learners. Participants of this session will have the opportunity to analyze some standards line by line, paralleling the selection process considered by the Arizona Math Content Team in revising the state standards. Through the process, decisions need to be made whether a standard is useful, relevant, and worded correctly. As you work in small groups, you will understand the process of assessing current state standards and be prepared if asked to revise your own.
