Join the ATLAS Lounge for Ask ATLAS Office Hours.

Passcode to join the meeting: lounge2026

Welcome to a new endeavor for ATLAS – open office hours! Join the Zoom on Friday, September 11, between 9:30 and 10:30 am. This office hour is dedicated to those new to ABE, and Lindsey will be sipping coffee, awaiting a conversation with you! Come with questions (no question is a bad question!) or simply to connect with colleagues. (Learn more about Lindsey Pust and her experience below.)

What is Ask ATLAS in the ATLAS Lounge?
ASK ATLAS is an “office hour,” simply time for an informal, drop-in conversation with an ATLAS staff member. Each of us at ATLAS holds interests and expertise in different areas, and we are eager to talk about teaching and learning with you. Come to connect with others doing similar work and chat with ATLAS folks! Bring your questions, new resources, & frustrations. We’re eager to hear more about your classroom and program.

[Note: CEUs not available for these informal, drop-in events]

Lindsey Pust entered into the world of adult education through an AmeriCorps VISTA position, and then worked 10 years as a pre-GED/GED instructor. After consulting with ATLAS for several years, Lindsey joined the ATLAS staff as Numeracy & Program Support Coordinator in 2021. An alumna of ATLAS’s 2013 MNI (Minnesota Numeracy Initiative) cohort, she has since provided leadership for ATLAS in various contexts. She coordinates professional development activities around effective math and numeracy instruction to adults, including coordination of the annual Math Institute and leading the statewide Be/CALM Initiative; content standards implementation; a statewide mentorship experience for new staff members; and supporting program administrators.

Fun fact: Lindsey is currently pursuing a Masters of Management and Leadership (MML) at Hamline University.
