Abstract:
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

Abstract:
While the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) prepare students for academic and workforce success, they provide limited support for students who are not proficient in English and need additional language support. The English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards for Adult Education (AE) can help career and technical education administrators and educators ensure that their English language learners (ELLs) receive the focused and effective instruction they need to meet the CCRS. This session will examine why the ELP standards for AE were developed and how adult education teachers can use them in their classrooms to ensure that ELLs have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Do you get frustrated with students using their cell phones in class? Turn that problem into a possibility! Students come alive as they work in teams with student team leaders using their cell phones as game controllers. I’ve never had more fun in class than when doing these Kahoot! quizzes, and the students love them! It’s a great way to get students to interact with each other and to review. As a teacher, you can see how well the students are learning. These quizzes are designed to correlate with the “I’m Not Afraid . . . Anymore!” curriculum for GED®-HSE Math and Writing, and ESL Writing, but they can be used with, or modified for, other curriculum. Come Kahoot! with us in this presentation and join the fun.

In this session, the presenters will share ways you can engage your community, staff, and students in promoting adult education and impacting important legislative discussions. In addition to providing an overview of the national Educate & Elevate campaign, presenters will provide some basic advocacy information and share practical ways that instructors can incorporate advocacy in their classrooms and become better advocates for their students. They will share how adult education teachers can engage students in advocacy through a series of classroom taught lessons, class outings, service projects, and volunteer work. Presenters will provide participants with resources and examples of advocacy activities and events that can be replicated in the ABE and ESOL classrooms. Opportunity to ask questions and share ideas.
