ACES Process: Step 1: Assess a Lesson Sample “Pre-ACES” Lesson 28 Read and ASSESS the Pre A-C-E-S Lesson Plan to identify the Developing a Future Pathway(DFP) skills/sub skills being addressed. Read the description of each lesson component and identify the DFP skills and sub skills addressed. Refer to the “TIF @ a Glance” DFP category. Note the skills and sub skills in the “Assess” column for each lesson component (e. g. DFP 1 a, 2 b) Remember, the ACES process can be used with textbook materials, learner plans, and other instructional resources and routines, not just lesson plans. ACES Hybrid PLC II, ATLAS, February 2015 ACES can work in any ABE context!

What works best in my setting? 49 Consider both the classroom and the one-room schoolhouse contexts. In small groups, discuss these questions: 1. Which process would work best in your setting? (Classroom or 1 -room schoolhouse? ) 2. Why did you choose that option? 3. How would you tweak either process to better fit your setting and learners? 4. Is there a way to combine the two processes to get the best of both worlds? ACES Hybrid PLC II, ATLAS, February 2015
