Abstract:
Innovative approaches to learning that you can apply to your classroom. Want your students to learn more and remember longer? Want to help them maximize their intelligence and perform at their best? From spaced learning to engaging content, this presentation discusses research in how the mind works, learns, and changes. But it isn't just theory. We will discuss how you can use this knowledge to immediately transform your practice. Based on the proven research in Mastery Learning by Benjamin Bloom and others.

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

Order of Operations: Sometimes, Always or Never? Many of us learned that the "Order of Operations" as a random rule someone made up, and we all have to follow it to get the same answer. As we dig into math, specifically using the mathematical shifts of the College and Career Readiness Standards, we look at things from a very different perspective. We no longer need to accept the order of operations as the rule, simply "because", instead let's investigate it and find some meaning. In this session, we will use our mathematical properties (commutative properties, associative properties, distributive property, etc) to explore our basic operations. With a solid mathematical foundation we will then look at "PEMDAS" in the context of the mathematical shift of rigor.

Using the CCRS's multiple references to the number line, this numeracy session uses the number line as the focus of "Coherence" from the beginning, definition of number sets through Algebraic thinking. We investigate the age-old question, "Why is a negative times a negative a positive?" We explore basic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and continue on to solve simple algebraic equations.

New technologies can help offer targeted study paths to personalize and accelerate math review. Hear about early experiences with EdReady.org, a new tool from the non-profit NROC Project--designed to support such efforts. Panelists will share lessons learned in adapting the platform to serve adult learners, in Kentucky and California, and to assist professional development efforts, in Colorado.

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic classroom professional development video on teaching essay writing. Students learn how to write an essay, how to: brainstorm ideas for the topic they are presented with, organize the ideas, write a topic sentence, and write an introductory and concluding paragraph. They also learn what to expect in the testing situation, for example, that the topic is given, that they have to brainstorm ideas without getting blocked, and that they will not have time to draft and re-copy a final essay. Although the GED 2014 series exam does not include a writing test as such, some of the strategies may be useful for the writing sections of the exam. Also, this approach may be useful for other high school equivalency exams such as the TASC and the HiSET. In this lesson students are given this topic: What qualities do you think make up a good employer? Write an essay that identifies the qualities you think a good employer has, giving specific examples to back up your ideas.-
