Abstract:
FUHSD Adult School in California has an explicit focus on Academic Readiness. Specifically, we define Academic Readiness as: The ability to be successful in the current and next learning venue which includes developing self-advocacy, taking responsibility for educational goals and communicating effectively. Learn how our ABE and ASE induction system and orientation begins with academic readiness training (SOAR) prior to students stepping foot in a classroom. Find out how we moved from very little student support to an abundance of student support that includes academic counseling, student case management, goal setting and self-assessment activities, flexible scheduling, built-in supports such as tutoring and a Learning Resource Center, academic field trips, book clubs and more. Further, get insight into how we have run staff development for classified, teaching, and administrative staff to unify our efforts around providing excellent and consistent student services.

Abstract:
Simply put, area models are rectangles made of rows and columns that illustrate multiplication. From this simple foundation you can solve problems (multiplying fractions), approach challenges in new ways (long division), teach properties (distributive property), and introduce algebraic concepts in an accessible way (multiplying polynomials). Which applications could be useful in your context? ATTACHMENTS: Rectangles as Problem Solving Tools COABE 2015 Rectangles Handout

Abstract:
At this workshop, the NYC-based Community of Adult Math Instructors (CAMI) shared their process of staring a citywide math teachers' circle to collaborate with other teachers and expand their knowledge of mathematics. Participants attended a "CAMI Roadshow" meeting, where we engaged in an inquiry-based process of algebraic thinking through the use of visual patterns, problem-posing, and multiple strategies for problem-solving, including drawing, different ways of seeing, making charts/tables and making predictions and generalizations. We created a Google Drive folder with all of the materials from the workshop - Exploring Algebraic Thinking in a Teachers' Circle

Abstract:
Algebra can be as approachable as adding if we show our students where it already exists in their everyday lives. This COABE 2016 session will present new methods to teaching algebra as patterns, rules, equations, and lines on a graph while utilizing research-based tools, techniques, and resources learned from the Adult Numeracy Instruction -“ Professional Development (ANI-PD). Hands-on practice and ready-to-use resources will be provided.

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic math professional development video for teachers in which an adult educator demonstrates to a High School Completion Program student some important test taking strategies. He thinks his way through a question, sorts through and deals with the parts of the question, revisits the question's information as he needs to, and pieces it back together. He comes up with a solution that he is confident in. He models his problem solving process out loud, he says, so that students can see how it works, so they can do it themselves, so they become independent learners The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=83
