SUMMARY:Math Institute 2024
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: FRI. 11/8/24  \nIf you require ASL interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu by October 25\, 2024 \nAGENDA \n8:25 am – Login and test your audio and video \n8:30 am – WELCOME & INFORMATION – Patsy Egan\, ATLAS \n8:45 am – KEYNOTE 1: Hidden Teachers: The Stories of Adult Basic Education Mathematics Teachers in the United States – presented by Dr. Brooke Istas \nDr. Istas will present a study of n=38 ABE mathematics and numeracy teachers’ personal narratives using life history methodology to share and understand their personal narratives about their own mathematical journey. To learn about their mathematical identity through their lived experiences as mathematics learners and their understanding of mathematics as an ABE mathematics and numeracy teacher. The stories of this population will be shared\, and the implications for adult numeracy research and practice will be discussed. \n9:45-9:55 – BREAK \n9:55-11:35 – KEYNOTE 2: Students Need Your Conceptual Understanding – presented by Amy Vickers \nHow well do you understand the math you teach? In Adult Education\, as generalists\, we often find ourselves teaching math when we don’t necessarily feel sure of our math background. In this session\, we will do activities to see how building your conceptual understanding can help students. Spoiler: Learning along with students is good! \n11:35-12:05 – LUNCH \n12:05-1:45 – KEYNOTE 3: Will This Be on the Test? – presented by Sarah Lonberg-Lew \nStandardized testing\, whether it is for high school equivalency or measuring student gains\, is a major concern in adult numeracy classes. It can be tempting to “teach to the test” in the hopes of getting students ready to get a passing score as quickly and painlessly as possible. However\, making test preparation the main focus of instruction does not create lasting learning and often is not even effective in achieving passing scores or demonstrating gains. It is possible to teach conceptually and do explicit test preparation at the same time. When students get exposure to—and practice with—standardized test questions in a context that prioritizes conceptual understanding and flexible thinking\, they will be more prepared to achieve test scores that fully reflect their skills and understandings. \nIn this workshop\, you will be introduced to Test Talks\, an instructional routine for building student confidence\, understanding\, flexibility\, and familiarity with standardized test questions. You will experience Test Talks as a learner and learn how to facilitate them yourself. In addition\, you will get access to a resource containing a bank of test questions to use with Test Talks. \n1:45-2 – BREAK \n2-3:30 – CONCURRENT SESSIONS \n(A) Problem Strings: A Flexible Numeracy Routine to Build Reasoning – presented by Kathryne Chiqui\, Minneapolis Adult Education \nInterested in further developing your own numeracy skills and learning how to support students in doing the same? Well\, then this session is for you! In this session\, expect to actively participate in a classroom routine called problem strings\, followed by reflection and discussion about how to use this routine. \n(B) Exploring CCRS Level D/E Standards – presented by Donna Escobedo\, Metro North ABE\, and Genna Hart\, Project for Pride in Living \nThis session will look at how to make sense of the D/E standards and explore ways we can help students learn the math skills needed at these levels. We will practice how to break down these often confusing standards and split them into manageable pieces for deeper understanding. Versatility of this routine using 3 different levels of math content will be modelled. Free resources will be shared. \n(C) Linear Functions for All – presented by Mark Trushkowsky\, CUNY Adult Literacy Program \nThis session is designed to be accessible to all participants. All teachers\, regardless of math teaching background\, are encouraged to attend. In this session we will talk about rate of change and starting amount\, which are fundamental (and accessible) elements of functions. We’ll look at how to help students analyze tables\, rules\, and graphs\, and learn to use rates of change and starting amounts in solving problems. The activities we’ll be exploring come from a free math resource called Tools of Algebra: Linear Functions\, which teachers can use with students. \nGRADUATE CREDIT OPTION: Attendance at the virtual ABE Math Institute is free of charge.  Please note that ATLAS & Hamline are now able to offer this 1-day event as a CSPD (Continuing Studies Professional Development) course. You can sign up here\, and for a $200 tuition fee\, you can count attendance at this event as 1 graduate non-degree seeking credit. \nIMPORTANT: Please note that this non-degree seeking credit can not count towards a degree\, certificate or credential\, but can be recognized within districts for CEUs/Credits toward lane/step changes.  Specific numbers of CEUs and how it can be used is district-specific\, so please inquire at the district level. \n\n\nThis year’s featured presenters:\nKEYNOTE: Brooke Istas\, Ph.D.\,  consultant\, adult education mathematics subject matter expert\, Cowley College Mathematics Faculty\, and an adult education researcher. She is recognized internationally for her knowledge of adult mathematics and adult mathematical instruction. She has given several presentations at state\, national\, and international conferences on enhancing mathematical instruction\, understanding higher-level mathematical content\, teaching math at a distance\, and contextualizing mathematics for engagement. She is always willing to share what she has learned with others.  She understands that adult education is enhanced through collaboration with other adult education programs.  \nBrooke is also devoted to understanding adult learners’ perceptions of mathematics to identify moments of disconnect or frustration. Her research delves into pivotal moments when adult learners transition from positive to negative perceptions of math\, aiming to alleviate anxiety and enhance learning experiences. She collects adults’ mathematical journeys through qualitative methods. \nAdditionally\, Brooke is the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the LINCS (Literacy Information and Communication System)\, serving as the moderator for the Math and Numeracy Community of Practice. She is also a reviewer & trainer for the Math & Numeracy\, Financial Literacy\, and Science online resource collection.  \n Brooke is a fifth-generation rancher who resides on her family’s ranch in Kansas\, where she carries on the tradition of operating a working ranch. She refers to land as her frontier and enjoys reading on the front porch. Her home is the birthplace of her grandmother. Living there makes her feel connected to all the generations before. \nAmy Vickers teaches math and guides students to earn high school equivalency diplomas at Nicolet College\, a technical college in northern Wisconsin. Previously she started with adult education and spent eight years teaching for Minneapolis Adult Education. Amy earned a M.Ed. in Adult Education from the University of MN and a M.A in Mathematics with an emphasis on Community College Teaching from University of Northern Iowa. \n  \n  \nSarah Lonberg-Lew has worked in the field of adult numeracy for over ten years\, both as a classroom teacher and providing professional development for math and numeracy teachers. She is a consultant for the SABES (System of Adult Basic Education Support) Mathematics and Adult Numeracy Curriculum & Instruction PD Center at TERC where she develops and facilitates trainings and workshops and coaches numeracy teachers. She is the treasurer for the Adult Numeracy Network (ANN.) \n

SUMMARY:Administrator Webinar: Leading ABE Programs with a Trauma-Informed Lens
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 4/23/24 \nAs leaders of ABE programs\, coordinators and administrators can do much to create organizations and learning environments that are trauma-informed and healing-centered.

SUMMARY:Adult Career Pathways Institute
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: FRI. 4/19/24 \nJoin ATLAS for a half day\, virtual conference on all things Adult Career Pathway! This year’s ACP Institute will feature a welcome from Minnesota ABE Director\, Brad Hasskamp. We will introduce Credential Specialists in the areas of Certified Nursing Assistant\, Community Interpreter and Food Protection Manager\, and explain how to find more resources related to these high-need credentials. Concurrent sessions include career exploration for adult English Learners\, co-enrollment with WIOA programs and the updated IET Approval process. \nSchedule: \n9-10 am – Welcome from ATLAS & State Staff & Announcing New Credential Specialists \nJoin us for remarks from MN Adult Ed Director Brad Hasskamp and ATLAS staff as we introduce Credential Specialists in the areas of Certified Nursing Assistant\, Community Interpreter and Food Protection Manager\, and explain how to find more resources related to these high-need credentials. \n10-10:15 am – Break \n10:15-11:30 am – Concurrent Session 1 \nPut Math to Work\nFrom checking your pay stub to setting prices in your small business\, adults use math in every job. It’s our job as instructors to incorporate math skills in ACP courses in a contextualized way. Let’s talk about how to identify which skills learners need and embed them in ACP curriculum with coherence and relevance. \nCo-Enrollment and Collaboration: Making Connections to Better Serve ABE Students Holistically\nAdult Education students face many barriers while improving their lives. They may be juggling many plates- school\, work\, family\, and other responsibilities. Having a strong\, two-way referral system between ABE and Workforce partners helps to meet the complex needs of these individuals. Join this session to learn more about collaborating with your local workforce development organization to discover what opportunities are available for eligible students and how co-enrollment in WIOA and other programs can benefit the whole student. \n11:30-11:45 am – Break \n11:45 am-1 pm – Concurrent Session 2 \nIn Our IET Era: What Every Adult Ed Program Needs to Know About the 2024 IET Application Process\nThis session is made for newcomers and veterans of Integrated Education and Training (IET) work. 2024 brings changes to the IET application and approval process. Participants will see the new forms and take a closer look at strategies when creating Single Set of Learning Objectives (SSLOs) for future IET applications. \nCareer Exploration for English Language Learners\nThe goal for most adult learners is a good job so they can support themselves and their family. Adult Educators want to make that transition as smooth as possible by providing classes\, events and activities to allow for career exploration and conversation in the ESL classroom. This presentation will feature panelists from around the state of Minnesota. Find out what’s working\, ask questions and pick up some fresh ideas for building career confidence for EL learners. \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu as soon as possible!

SUMMARY:CCRS Support Webinar (3 of 3): CCRS + TIF = A match made in heaven! 
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: THU. 4/18/24 \nThe standards for adult education can be confusing – CCRS\, TIF\, & Northstar\, oh my!  They are all important\, of course\, and we know students need everything\, everything\, all at once!  Here’s the truth – the standards all interact\, all the time.  Join state leaders on this webinar to discover ways we can enrich teaching and learning by thinking about the standards TOGETHER.  Does interpreting a graph have anything to do with Critical Thinking?  Does point of view relate to Navigating Systems? What about the interplay of showing evidence\, effective communication\, and learning strategies? And what of all this transfers to building career skills (or maybe the better question is what DOESN’T transfer to building career skills!)  All this and more with ATLAS’s Kristine Kelly\, Lindsey Pust\, and Carly Voshell. \nIf you require ASL interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu

SUMMARY:Is it SSLO Goin’? The IET Approval Process De-Mystified!
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: THU. 3/14/24 \nSingle Set of Learning Objectives\, also known as SSLOs\, are required for an Integrated Education and Training (IET) course approval from the Minnesota Department of Education. If you have written SSLOs\, you know that it can be a difficult and tedious process as you try to boil down a complex course into four to six essential competencies. Updates to the IET Application process have been recently made and now ATLAS Transitions Coordinator\, Carly Voshell\, is reviewing SSLOs for the state. Join this webinar to learn more about writing SSLOs more easily and efficiently\, and connect with others who are in the midst of this important work! \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu

SUMMARY:Antiracist Praxis Study Circle
DESCRIPTION:Application deadline: FRI. 1/19/24 \nMany of us have heard the terms antiracist and DEI (diversity\, equity and inclusion)\, but how do we actually implement these large frameworks into our adult English classrooms? This study circle goes beyond defining antiracism and explores how the research around Translanguaging by Ofelia García and Culturally Responsive Teaching by Zaretta Hammond provide us with tools to change the way we approach teaching. \nThe study circle is not intended to be a basic “what is racism” professional development activity\, so we have some working assumptions and hope those interested in joining can agree to start with these foundational beliefs: \nRacism is systemic. White supremacy and systemic racism are leading problems in our education system. These systems are especially harmful to people of color and the English language learners we serve. Identifying and addressing implicit bias is paramount to this work. It is a personal journey\, and we all enter this work together from different places. It is not enough to be “not racist” but we have to be intentionally antiracist. We are willing to work in a collaborative environment and to hold each other accountable. \nFacilitated by: Wendy Vang-Roberts and Erin Cary \nDATES: You are required to attend each date. \n\nFri. 2/2/24\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nFri. 2/9/24\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nFri. 2/16/24\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nFri. 2/23/24\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nFri. 3/8/24\, 3:00-5:00 PM\n\nParticipants earn 15 CEUs plus a $100 stipend for completing all the requirements of the study circle\, including attendance at all 5 meetings. Priority for slots is given to current paid staff of MN ABE programs. \nGET MORE DETAILS >> \nMeet our facilitators:\nWendy Vang-Roberts (she/her) is a first-generation Hmong American from the Twin Cities who is dedicated to taking action to dismantle racism and inequities through training\, storytelling and creating spaces for meaningful dialogue. As the Program Manager of Federal Strategies at Race Forward\, she project manages professional development for federal agencies to advance racial equity. Wendy holds a B.S. in Business Management and a Master of Public and Nonprofit Administration from Metropolitan State University. Currently\, she serves on two working boards – the Asian American Organizing Project (AAOP) Board as Board Chair and the Antiracism Community of Transformation (ACT) Board. \nErin Cary (she/her)\, has worked in MN ABE since 2009\, as teacher\, administrator\, and in curriculum writing and professional development. She currently teaches beginner ELLs for Metro North ABE in Brooklyn Center\, and in her role as CILIA-T Project Coordinator\, she coordinates development of a digital skill-building adult ELL civics curriculum project through the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She is a co-founder of the teacher/learner self-advocacy movement #IamABE\, which supports equity work and activism in MN adult education. Erin holds a Master of Arts in ESL from Hamline University.

SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Teaching Practices Study Circle
