Abstract:
What is your vision for your adult education program? Where is your program now? Look at your program through a different lens. Manage for today, with an eye toward the future. These round tables will help you to develop your own program evaluation process so that you can plan for long-term success of your participants, your program, and your community. We will share with you sound practices for developing and managing five key areas: programming, instruction, accountability/data, outreach, and administration. Join us and leave with a host of electronic tools to assist you!

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.

Abstract:
The integration of the English language within math content is essential for assisting ESL/ELL students to develop a good understanding of mathematics. This workshop brings participants into a curriculum integrating the study of mathematics and English vocabulary with hands-on and collaborative activities using manipulatives. We’ll give ESL/ELL students alternate ways to participate in whole-class discussions and respond to questions: think/pair/share, flashcards to raise overhead, hand and/or body movements, individual chalkboards for solving computations. Participants are engaged with numeracy lessons that balance between skill building and functional needs. Examples contextualize math instruction, motivate and engage by providing real or concrete meaning, and create a rewarding balance for instruction. ESL/ELL students accomplish two goals: mathematical understanding and English proficiency.

Abstract:
This workshop delivers real-world financial topics and tools with a mathematical connection. Participants will work with financial literacy activities used in ESL and ABE/ASE instruction. Lessons include best practice activities, background economics information, and personal finance content. Activities are presented with varied lesson delivery styles reaching a variety of learning styles helping learners make informed money decisions positively affecting their lives. It will be emphasized that financial literacy is meant to be learned and practiced in an interactive and technological environment. Students learn to apply mathematics to real-world financial situations. Participants interact with tactile, games, scenarios, hard-copies, documents, websites, and computer interactive spreadsheets.
