SUMMARY:Be Rational! Get Real! An Exploration of Number Categories
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 3/14/2023 \nbrokrek\, CC0\, via Wikimedia Commons\nIn this webinar\, we will be investigating what makes a number fit into a particular category (Counting\, Whole\, Integer\, Rational\, Irrational\, Real – We will not be covering Imaginary or Complex). The focus will be on the common characteristics of numbers in different categories\, including the reason for rules that we have for operations with integers and how we know that irrational numbers are irrational.  We will see a few ways that ℼ was estimated and will talk about how accurate we really need to be with ℼ.  Let’s play on ℼ day! \nCCRS Connection: Students are asked to work with formulas involving ℼ in levels D and E. Deepening our own understanding of numbers – and specifically ℼ – will only enhance our teaching as we help students prepare for HSE diplomas. PLUS students all the way from level A to level E need an understanding of number categories! \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu.

SUMMARY:ACES Webinars "TIFty Tuesdays": Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 4/18/23 \nComing in winter and spring 2023\, please join us for three webinars that will help MN ABE practitioners become more familiar with the newly updated TIF. We will look at the new lesson plans and ACES Routines and explore some great resources. These webinars will be an opportunity for ABE teachers and administrators to learn about the changes to ACES/TIF and connect with others who have been involved in this work. ACES/TIF is one of the three sets of MN ABE Content Standards\, and you won’t want to miss out on getting some fresh ideas for bringing these critical Transitions skills into your classroom. \nOn April 18\, we’ll be focusing on Social-Emotional Learning. Just as we understand that our adult learners need transitions skills in order to be successful in all areas of their lives\, we also understand that being an adult educator means nurturing the whole person: body\, mind\, and spirit. We recognize that adults need to understand and take care of their emotional health in order to be successful and reach their goals\, and this is what SEL is all about. \nDr. Jamie Kreil will be our special guest\, and we will share ideas for ways to support SEL while also incorporating ACES/TIF in your instruction.
