OER are increasingly being developed and adopted by educational programs and institutions. OER save money, but they also provide ideal learning tools. In science, a process-oriented field, students benefit from free access to well-developed instructions, illustrations, games, and animations showing how things work. In open classrooms, students learn to modify and republish those sources for others to emulate. (We learn what we teach!) Using OER creates win-win scenarios, and this webinar will show you how!

The provided materials were used for a workshop at the 2018 COABE Conference. The session was designed to familiarize participants with the scientific method by exploring how it plays out in experiments that can be conducted in any classroom, regardless of science lab materials. For example, data from the participants’ ruler drop experiment were used to analyze the reaction time of fighter pilots. We also examined how to identify the control, independent variable, and dependent variables, as well as draw a conclusion, in various scenarios from The Simpsons cartoon. We looked at content problems similar to what might be on the HSE test, and explored strategies and resources for teaching this content to students. Resources include exploring www.CK12.org and the National Institutes of Health Curriculum Supplement Series (https://science.education.nih.gov/customers/WebPages/CSHome.html). Both of these free resources are easily adaptable to a classroom, as well as online, and encourage students to interact and discover the scientific process along the way.

Since 2014, the CUNY Adult Literacy/HSE Program has collaborated with the NYS Department of Education to create the NYSED Teacher Leader Initiative. This project has developed a community of teacher leaders across the state, dedicated to improving teaching practice in our field. These teacher leaders bring our training to educators in their regions, and develop resources and projects of their own. This workshop provides an overview and answers questions about the initiative. We'll use the voices of the NYSED Teacher Leaders themselves to reflect on the lessons we've learned about effective, ongoing, and engaging teacher development. This workshop is for teachers, administrators, state education directors - anyone interested in the resources developed and the lessons learned through this initiative. All materials from this workshop are available at bit.ly/COABE2018CUNY

Session Abstract: "Just as students draw on their literacy skills to understand science and social studies matter, students need numeracy skills to interpret science and social studies material. During this session, you can expect to experience activities you can use in classes. These activities will help students access non-textual information and reason from data."

How can adult education instructors maximize teaching time in the classroom? Use interdisciplinary infographics! This presentation explores how ready-made authentic infographics can be used as a tool to engage students in constructing meaningful knowledge, and gaining conceptual understanding, of real-life math as they explore it through the lens of infographics. This presentation contains links to resources that model how students can create their own infographics that demonstrate their understanding of, and connections within and between, a specific content area and the numeric data that supports the subject matter. Though this presentation focuses on how infographics can be used in the math classroom, connections to social studies and writing activities are made explicit. The resource section provides educators with numerous websites that they can access to get started using infographics in the classroom. In the workshop at COABE 2016, we created a simple infographic which is pictured. ATTACHMENTS: How To Contextualize Math Using Infographics 1You must be logged in to download this resource.
