Abstract:
Do you have a pressing issue that you wish researchers would investigate? Do you wish researchers would publicize their findings in language that everyone can understand? If so, you may be interested in learning about federally funded partnerships between practitioners and researchers. This session will provide examples of practitioners and researchers working together to address key issues in adult basic education and literacy. Practitioners and researchers often have similar questions about adult basic education services, yet they often do not have an opportunity to collaborate as equal partners in exploring these questions. Panelists in this session will explain how practitioners and researchers can work together to address relevant issues in our field. Audience members will have a chance to share their experiences working in collaborations and discuss ways to address challenges, frustrations, and obstacles that often occur during collaborative endeavors.

Abstract:
Open Educational Resources (OER) continue to explode and, fortunately, in the direction of Adult Education! In this session, participants will review OER concepts and their related five licensing definitions, explore OER online that can be effectively used in Adult Ed, identify repositories for OER content, develop search techniques, evaluate lesson plans to meet open classroom requirements, and contribute to the process of posting and remixing OER through OER Commons. OER is for all educators, no matter what their role or field of interest. Everyone is invited to participate and everyone, thereafter, is invited to share OER for and by adult learners. Looking for a publishing niche? That’s it!

Abstract:
The Iowa Department of Education presented at the 2019 COABE Conference on their collaboration with Iowa’s 15 community colleges to build, connect, and empower employer-led, community-based sector partnerships to combat a shortage of skilled labor through a wide variety of talent attraction, retention, and development initiatives. The discussion centered on newly developed statewide materials, strategies, and initiatives which continue to support the development and growth of collaborative sector partnerships in Iowa, including a series of educational toolkits, community of practice initiatives, and statewide career pathway development strategies for critical industries like health science, advanced manufacturing, IT, and energy. Many of these resources, strategies, and general ideas can be easily and quickly replicated in other communities across the US. Visit SectorPartnerships.EducateIowa.gov to learn more and download many of the highlighted materials and additional resouces!
