Abstract:
The NTI AEC started the academic year with a managed enrollment program for students enrolled in ESL and GED classes on campus. The transition provided a platform for our team to have professional conversations when it came to developing a student-centered approach to classroom structure. As the GED faculty team, we will share noteworthy reflections and tools related to math and language instruction and to the facilitation of productive staff dialogue.

Abstract:
The Adult Basic Education for College & Career (ABECC) program at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, has been developing successful Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (IBEST) programs as an IET instructional model since 2013. This session will explore how students and instructors who have participated in IBEST programs experience this collaborative model. Hear from students about what aspects of this integrated approach they identify as having been the most critical to improving their academic performance. Learn from IBEST instructors how they approach co-planning lessons and assignments and co-teaching in the classroom.

Abstract:
Searching for relevant resources online to prepare students for the post-test in math and the HiSET® tests, in general, can be frustrating. In response to the lack of resources, we have created a series of Khan-like videos that walk students through how to do HiSET® practice tests one problem at a time. We also created online quizzes that simulate a post-test with real-time results. Finally, we have consolidated all of our resources, including all of our syllabi, lesson plans, and curriculum in a publicly available Google Drive. All of these resources are centrally located at http://adulted-mcc.blogspot.com. Attendees will get access to all of these resources and learn the basics on how to create their own materials.

Abstract:
Participants learn to create, deliver, and vary classroom practices teaching social studies with a multiplicity of disciplines including history, geography, math, science, and technology. Participants and their students will be rewarded with challenging and motivating lessons that will prepare students for life-skills and assessment challenges. Ideas and examples in lesson planning for the interactive social studies classroom are provided. Hands-on activities such as maps, games, hard-copies, and computer-based interactions create a rewarding balance for instruction. Participants will discover free resources— materials and websites—that can be used for constructing lessons and activities. Work with vocabulary, timelines, map distance predictions, science tables, civil rights, presidents, word problems, enduring issues, and more. Participants will complete best practices, play games, and share feedback throughout the workshop.
