    Abstract:

    Performance improvement and accountability are hallmarks of service delivery under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Texas initiated a statewide quality model for local AEFLA provider program management after the state adult education program transferred to the Texas Workforce Commission in 2013. This slide show explains how the state and local programs collaborate to drive increased student success using a data-driven approach across educational, and postsecondary transition and employment outcomes. The presentation describes organizational roles in a system approach that includes monthly local performance and expenditure reporting, state office  provider support, professional development linked to program improvement, monthly executive staff briefing, external monitoring and evaluation, and corrective action and continuous improvement support.+ ATTACHMENTS: ContinuousImprovementandAccountabilityTexasStyle_COABE2016

    Abstract:

    An astounding 85% of job success comes from well-developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills). Join Dr. Susan McKee, educational psychologist, to learn simple but effective strategies for soft skills instruction and assessment. Effective soft skills instruction in basic education programs requires adaptable resources, consistent evaluation, and individualized feedback and planning. This workshop will explore simple but effective steps for teaching soft skills concepts in any basic education course. In addition, it will address strategies for soft skills evaluation and for supporting students’ long-term soft skills development. Attendees will also review a sample lesson from Pace’s Life Skills 25 curriculum.

    Abstract:

    This presentation is designed to encourage instructors to utilize more cooperative group instruction in order to improve test scores, create meaningful connections between the instructor and student, and improve student engagement. Instructors will also gain knowledge of ways to make classrooms more student-centered and completion-focused while maintaining high expectations. Students in classrooms that are designed for success can expect to be accountable for their performance and achievement.   http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/APina-Facilitationg-Group-Instruction.pptx
