CALM Introduction (Self-Paced Modules)

This course is designed for teachers who are using or want to use the Curriculum for Adults Learning Math (CALM). CALM was created by the SABES Mathematics and Numeracy Curriculum & Instruction PD center to give teachers a full, rich, conceptually-based curriculum. CALM teaches conceptual understanding of skills from roughly College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education (CCRSAE) levels B – E (GLE 3-12) and contains thorough unit plans, lesson plans, and supporting materials. Because CALM is different from traditional curricula, it is important to understand its structure and philosophy to be able to use it effectively. This course will introduce you to the logistical elements of CALM and its guiding principles.

Engaging in and Facilitating Difficult Conversations in Adult Education

Today's political and social climate has many educators wondering what is appropriate to talk about, teach, and facilitate with students related to diversity and inclusion. How do we meet the diverse needs of learners while also complying with changing initiatives that may hinder our ability to have difficult conversations? Join Dr. Liza Talusan as we examine the current climate of education, teaching, and learning and how we, as adult educators, can continue to build the habits and skills of identity-conscious dialogues with our students.
