For example, many classes have open enrollment, and most students are not required to attend class. Students with a wide variety of experience—testing at different levels—are often in one class. Some classes, such as those in correctional settings, regularly have students for only a short duration because of their unique circumstances. If you are looking for ideas to teach a class with unpredictable attendance, this is the session for you! We’ll share ideas and experiences and invite you to share your ideas to support teachers in giving students a positive education experience.</p> <p><strong><font color="#663399">Audience:&nbsp;</font></strong>This professional development activity/course is designed for teachers at all levels of math ability and comfort working in ABE, HSE, and Corrections</p> <p><strong><font color="#663399">Description:&nbsp;</font></strong>In this 1.5-hour workshop, we will share ideas for addressing the challenge of irregular attendance.
