SUMMARY:North ABE Fall 2022 Regional
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: FRI. 10/7/22  \nIf you require ASL interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu  \nSchedule:  Thursday – 5:30-8:45 p.m. | Friday – 8:00 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. \nCost: \n\n$25 for both Thursday and Friday (get Thursday for free!)\n$25 for Friday only\n$15 for Thursday only\n$15 late fee will be incurred for registrations made after 10/7/22\n\nLodging:  Chase on the Lake Resort & Spa\, 502 Cleveland Boulevard\, PO Box 760\, Walker\, MN 56484  \nA hotel block with a special discounted rate has been reserved at Chase for the night of Thursday\, October 13.  If you would like a guest room at the hotel (room and tax paid by ATLAS)\, you must request a room through the event registration process prior by Friday\, October 7.  After this date\, a room cannot be guaranteed. \nRegistration Cancellation Policy: \nDue to non-refundable costs incurred for venue bookings and catering\, registrations cancelled less than 5 business days prior to an ATLAS-sponsored event will not be eligible for reimbursement and will be billed at the normal rate. If you must cancel after this time\, you are encouraged to send a substitute if possible. Thank you for your understanding. \nIMPORTANT: No-shows for guest room reservations\, and rooms cancelled after October 7\, will be billed directly to your program.  \n\nAGENDA: \nThursday\, October 13\n2:00-5:00 pm \n\nACES Foundations\nThis session will serve as an introduction to ACES/TIF for new teachers and administrators\, but it will also provide a valuable refresher for teachers and administrators who have not had any ACES training for a couple of years. Learners need soft skills\, such as time management and the ability to participate in a group\, in order to have success at work or in school. In this session\, we will explore how to identify the ACES skills (soft skills) that are already in your lessons\, and how to enhance your lessons to include even more. The session will also explore how ACES/TIF fits with the other two sets of MN ABE Content Standards.\n\n\n6:00-7:30 pm \n\nMental Wellness!  It Matters! Mental Health Tips in the ABE Classroom\nMany people are well aware of methods to stay physically healthy\, but few are educated about what it means to stay mentally healthy.  Mental and physical health are closely intertwined\, and both should be priorities in our lives.  Come to this session to learn how to teach mental health strategies to ABE students using PANDA’s new mental health tip sheet.  Discover its benefits for your students and how it can be used for teachers’ self-care. The session will share concrete examples of how the tips can be incorporated into lessons to help your students get on the road to mental wellness.  This workshop is intended to address the re-licensure areas of key warning signs of early-onset mental illness or English Language Learners.\nIET 101\nIf you’re new to IET\, you may want to know the basics. Join us as we break down the basics of Integrated Education and Training (IET). The session will provide you with information on the key components of IET\, the benefits of this from adult career pathways programming\, and where to locate resources to begin your IET journey.\n\n\nFriday\, October 14\n8:30-9:30 am \n\nGeneral Session: Expanding Access Through Collaborative Delivery Models\nOver the course of the past several years\, the landscape of Minnesota adult education has shifted. As more students and programs have become comfortable with online learning and teaching\, new opportunities for providing services across geographic boundaries have emerged. Come hear examples of statewide\, regional and consortium-wide classes and consider implications for your students and program.\n\n9:45-11:15 am \n\nMath Sprinkles for Your Classroom Routines\nDon’t teach a math class? No problem! This session will go over a few numeracy routines that you can use in your classroom no matter what content you teach. Come experience some math-y ways of taking attendance\, talking about the weather\, and building graphic literacy. Let’s build numeracy with all of our students!\nSo Nice to See You Again: Getting Reacquainted with the ACES/TIF Sample Lesson Plans\nIn this interactive session\, participants will have a chance to preview the newly updated ACES/TIF lesson planning template and two sample lesson plans and provide input. The presenter will discuss some current trends in education and how they are being incorporated into these lessons. Participants will have an opportunity to work in small groups and discuss ways to make these materials work at a variety of levels. Participants will then leave with two lesson plans that can be implemented in a future class. For practitioners who are new to ABE in Minnesota\, this workshop session will be an opportunity to learn more about ACES/TIF and why it is one of the three sets of content standards for MN ABE.\n Northstar Digital Literacy Foundations\nWhat is digital literacy\, why does it matter in ABE\, and how can teachers include it in their existing classes (with minimal headaches)? Come to this session to find out! We’ll look at some examples of integrating digital literacy into ELL and ELA courses\, practice modifying a sample lesson to include Northstar standards\, and discuss why all this “technology stuff” is worth the time and effort\, even for in-person classes. You’ll also get a preview of the new Northstar Digital Literacy Foundations course for ABE teachers and learn where to find resources to support you as you teach digital literacy.\n\n11:30 am – 12:30 pm: Roundtable Discussions \n\nHiSET Practice Test debrief\nESL Roundtable\nStudent Recruitment & Outreach\nJoin us for a brief overview of the new LAN Outreach Toolkit\, followed by a facilitated discussion about how you can use the toolkit and other recruitment strategies and materials to build your programs!\n\n1:15-2:45 pm \n\nInteractive Lessons using Google Slides\nGoogle Slides is a robust\, interactive\, and flexible presentation tool that can also be interactive and fun for students. This session will walk participants through creating interactive lessons they can use virtually and in their classroom.\nWhat’s Up with the HiSET Language Arts-Writing Test?\nCurious about the HiSET Language Arts-Writing test? Join Kristine Kelly from ATLAS and Chrysti Nielsen from NW Service Coop as they compare some basics of the GED & HiSET language and writing tests and share their impressions based on the official practice test\, along with feedback trends from colleagues taking the practice tests statewide. Participants will have an opportunity to work with some practice HiSET language questions and an essay prompt and then engage in discussion about can stay the same about high school equivalency writing instruction and what may need to change.
