Coalition on Adult Basic Education
ANN Annual Meeting
COABE Conference 2019
March 31st – April 3, 2019
New Orleans Marriott, New Orleans, Louisiana
An Open Invitation:
The Adult Numeracy Network holds its annual meeting at the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) conference as a day focusing on adult numeracy. We encourage people interested in math education for adult learners to join us.
This full-day institute is designed for experienced as well as novice teachers and staff developers who work in ABE, GED, ESOL, and developmental college programs. Participants will leave with classroom-ready activities that they can immediately use with students at all ability levels. Math practitioners at all experience levels will find support and inspiration while working with colleagues.
The $150 cost of registration includes a full day of professional development, lunch, and a one-year ANN membership (new or renewal). Read below for details on this year’s theme.
It is possible to attend the ANN preconference without registering for the full COABE Conference.
