Abstract:
This webinar provides a first look at the new TABE 11/12 tests. This overview describes the new subtest structure and length, testing time, item types and alignment to NRS EFLs and adult education standards, relevance to high school equivalency tests, and improved Locator. Participants will view the new, greatly improved online testing platform, INSIGHT that both TABE and TASC share. We will provide an overview on the new TASC test forms for 2018, the newest option for high school equivalency testing.

Abstract:
This time-saving guideline invites adult-ed teacher to be remarkable, do art and make change happen by allowing adult learners to bring out their genius and passion. In other words, this tool is designed to help instructors get learners closer to their dreams, one lesson and one semester at a time . To be specific, this tool focuses on preparing adult students for the real world and facilitating deep-structure learning, promoting soft and irreplaceable skills that are salable in the marketplace or in the gig economy.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. The session was designed to familiarize participants with the scientific method by exploring how it plays out in experiments that can be conducted in any classroom, regardless of science lab materials. For example, data from the participants’ ruler drop experiment were used to analyze the reaction time of fighter pilots. We also examined how to identify the control, independent variable, and dependent variables, as well as draw a conclusion, in various scenarios from The Simpsons cartoon. We looked at content problems similar to what might be on the HSE test, and explored strategies and resources for teaching this content to students. Resources include exploring www.CK12.org and the National Institutes of Health Curriculum Supplement Series (https://science.education.nih.gov/customers/WebPages/CSHome.html). Both of these free resources are easily adaptable to a classroom, as well as online, and encourage students to interact and discover the scientific process along the way.

Abstract:
The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. This session provided participants with hands-on activities to explore the most common solid figures used on the HSE in an effort to discover how they might develop their own formulas for these shapes. By investigating the relationships and properties of these shapes, participants improved understanding of the meaning behind the formulas provided on the HSE tests. They also evaluated a workplace scenario in marketing to see how the SA and V of solid figures can influence how products are designed.

Abstract:
How do we bridge the gap between students’ current understanding of arithmetic to the higher level mathematics content that they need to learn? Brain science reveals that students at all levels, ELL, ABE, & HSE alike, can cross this bridge by tapping into the visual processing centers of the brain. In this presentation, teachers will explore how a visual model can be used to help students to gain understanding of the meaning and uses of variables, recognition of patterns and functions, and make connections to the language of algebra. Teachers will be able to connect their own learning with teaching in a multi-level classroom. The presentation includes links to additional materials including classroom-ready printable resources
