13 Dec	Webinar - Increasing Opportunities for Adult Education Learners to Pursue a Manufacturing Career Pathway Wednesday, Dec 13, 2023	Webinar - Increasing Opportunities for Adult Education Learners to Pursue a Manufacturing Career Pathway Event Details: When you hear “Florida” what industries come to mind? Manufacturing was probably not at the top of your list, yet Florida has 20,000 manufacturing companies, and over 371,000 Floridians are employed in the industry however, very few adult education students are making the transition in this high-wage, in-demand career cluster. The reason may be that students don’t realize the career opportunities that exist in manufacturing. This webinar will share how one county is working towards effecting change by focusing on the #1 source of information for adult education students and that is adult education teachers, navigators, administrators, and their partners. In this webinar, you will learn how Manufacturing Career Access Experience professional development was developed for adult education staff and partners to help them gain a better understanding of manufacturing. You will also learn about resources that you can use to replicate this professional development in your county. Date: December 13, 2023 Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (ET) Note: Please use your IPDAE Portal Account Email Address when registering so it is reflected in your Activity History. Register Here

Workshop (Hillsborough) - Get There with Strong Mathematical Reasoning Skills Event Details: Through the support and funding of the Florida Department of Education, Florida IPDAE will be hosting regional mathematics content area workshops for adult educators in four (4) centralized locations within the state. These workshops will focus on core mathematics and numeracy standards that stem across the continuum of adult education programs (ESOL, ABE, ASB, and GED Prep), and assessments (CASAS® Life and Work, TABE® 11/12, CASAS® Goals, and GED®), including the instructional strategies to effectively teach these skills. Instructional strategies will be geared towards promoting mathematical thinking and reasoning, skills retention, interactive/exploratory activities, cooperative learning, and most importantly, contextualizing instruction to support IET programs across the state. Adult educator participants will walk away with instructional resources, activities, and manipulatives that complement strategies for seamless replication into daily classroom instruction.
