SUMMARY:Math Webinar: Exploring Proportions Conceptually Using Desmos
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 5/4/21 \nJoin us as we explore conceptual understanding of proportions using a Desmos activity we created using “Three-Act Math.” We will explore how we can develop proportional reasoning and how ratios are part of larger patterns.

She is a Senior Policy Fellow at Minnesota Education Equity Partnership\, leading the TeachMN20/20 collective impact initiative to advance systems change to create and retain a racially diverse teacher workforce.

She supports community-based organizations in Minnesota to re-engage “opportunity youth” in education and work through a youth development lens. Most recently\, Rose was a member of the curriculum development team and is an endorsed trainer for the required Cultural Competency Training for teachers under the MN Professional Educator Standards and Licensing Board.  She has a diverse professional service portfolio and consulting experience\, from coaching math teachers\, preparing teacher candidates for math licensure exams\, to designing/facilitating community engagement convenings and activities. From serving as an equity thought partner in conference planning and execution\, to facilitating systems thinking and systems change theories and practices with organization leaders. Rose was elected to the school board of the Roseville Area Schools and began her first term in January 2020. \nHer original Industrial and Systems Engineering background\, coupled with her experience as a classroom teacher have continued to ground her life’s work in educational reform and transformation. She is professor emerita at Metropolitan State University​\, where she has previously been a faculty and department chair at the Urban Teacher Program. Rose also held executive leadership positions as Assistant Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education\, and as interim Dean of Urban Education at Metropolitan State University. \n\n \nIn 2004\, Andrea Echelberger began a two-year AmeriCorps position in St. Paul teaching adult refugees and immigrants English\, and she’s never looked back. Throughout her teaching career\, she has worked with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and language levels\, and while she’s loved every class that she’s taught\, literacy level learners are her favorite group to teach.

In 2016\, Andrea became the ESL Training Coordinator at Literacy Minnesota\, where she conducts interactive and engaging professional development for Minnesota teachers and tutors. She received her MAESL from Hamline University and holds an ABE Minnesota Teaching License from the University of Minnesota. \nAndrea is continuously humbled and inspired by the lessons and stories that she hears from her learners every day\, and is passionate about helping the people that she works with develop their voices in English so that they and their families are able to thrive in Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Close Reading & CCRS - Unpacking a Visual Text
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 4/27/21 \nIncorporating a close reading strategy into our instruction is a common best practice. However\, how often do we extend that same strategy to visual texts? Can we? During this webinar\, you will get an opportunity to experience a close reading activity of a visual text as if you were a student. You will also hear from and collaborate with colleagues to explore the power of pairing visual texts with a close reading routine and reflect on how this routine could impact your CCRS instruction. Presented by Kristine Kelly\, ATLAS Literacy and English Language Coordinator.

SUMMARY:Using ACES/TIF to Develop Workplace Preparation Activities
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: WED. 4/21/21 \nIn this webinar we will look at the connection between ACES/TIF and the Workplace Preparation requirement that is a component of both Integrated Education and Training (IET) and Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) instruction. We will hear from a panel of teachers who have experience planning workforce preparation activities\, and we will explicitly identify how the activities support the development of ACES/TIF skills. Webinar participants will leave with a better understanding of this requirement and how to create engaging lessons that go beyond writing a resume or doing mock interviews.

SUMMARY:CCRS Support Webinar: They've Got This – Fostering Independent Learners
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: THU 1/14/21 \nWe all know that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning. The idea of creating space for learners to be active contributors in the classroom is widely accepted as best practice. However\, practically and powerfully putting this into action can be challenging. How do we facilitate students finding their own way out of learning roadblocks besides just telling them? How do we bring out skills that students already possess and help them apply those skills in an academic context? How do we cultivate a learning culture that is less dependent on the teacher disseminating knowledge and more dependent on learner contributions? In order to develop mastery of CCR standards\, it is crucial for learners to develop practical skills and strategies for becoming independent learners. In this session\, hear from several teachers about how they are integrating ACES/TIF skills and CCRS – for both in-person and remote learning environments – to establish a culture of empowered learning in their classrooms. \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu \n  \n

SUMMARY:Speaking the Language of ACES: Helping Your Students Talk about Their Transferable Skills
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: MON. 1/11/21  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has left scores of people unemployed. With many businesses shutting down due to mandatory closures and a slow economy\, too many workers are facing the prospect of looking for a new job. Do your students know how to talk about their skills? Do you give them opportunities to discuss their strengths and language for explaining their weaknesses to a potential employer? Helping our students recognize and name their transferable skills is one of the most important things that we can do to help give them a competitive edge in the job market. \nJoin us for the ACES Winter Webinar for a chance to explore how to help students develop the language they need for talking about their skills. We will be joined by a senior employment counselor from DEED who will talk about the Transferable Skills Matrix; Alison Wilcox\, Career Pathways Coordinator for Metro South ABE; and Career Navigator Stephanie Beja. We will look at some classroom resources and share ideas for fostering student confidence and success. \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu \n
