63rd
Annual CEA Conference The 63rd Annual
CEA (Correctional Education Association) Conference will be hosted at
Denver’s largest hotel — The Sheraton (formerly Adam’s Mark Hotel). Call
(888) 627-8405 for more information, or visit
www.starwoodmeeting.com.
Description: One of the greatest challenges
facing many ESOL teachers is a class where students have many different
skill levels. In this "Webinar," Robin Lovrien Schwarz will teach you
three different approaches to managing such a class. After each
approach is discussed online, you will have the opportunity to create
materials and plans for your own class and get feedback on design and
implementation. Handouts will be available to download, and unlike in
a one-time, live session, you will get to ask those questions you think
of the next day!
Description: Adults
with special learning needs taking the GED fall into two categories: (1)
Those adults with documented ADA disabilities, who require
accommodations such as extended time, supervised breaks, scribes,
audiocassettes. (2) Those adults, for whom teachers have identified
learning needs requiring adaptations or modifications such as
magnifiers, colored overlays, straight edges, rooms without fluorescent
lighting, etc. These latter adaptations do not require prior approval by
the GED state offices.
Description:
How can we help students pass the GED Math Test? In this
workshop, participants will focus on problem-solving strategies
that their students can master to pass the GED. Participants
will analyze GED math questions, learn how they can engage
different learning styles to help students succeed with GED
math, and discuss a variety of interactive strategies that they
can apply to Pre-GED and GED Math classes. They will also
preview published materials that incorporate these strategies.
