  1. INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT Dr. Cassie Rape May 10, 2013 GACIS MDC Training

  2. A Vertical Look at Formative Assessment Lessons Why is this any different from regular math “tasks” or “quizzes?”

  3. We don’t learn passively. • People are active participants in their own learning. • We construct bridges between what we are learning now and what we already know. • Misconceptions arise naturally as a result. • FOR INSTANCE: A third grader constructs the following “rule” for themselves based on their previous learning: I will get larger number whenever I multiply two numbers together.

  4. There is a BIG difference between a Mistake and a Misconception. MISTAKES • Computational Errors • Lack of Attention • Careless Errors • Misreading Own Handwriting • Observed Occasionally/ Infrequently MISCONCEPTIONS • Wrong applications of Mathematical Rules • Incorrect interpretation of mathematical concepts • Observed consistently

  5. Why is the consideration of misconceptions important? • Children construct meaning internally by accommodating new concepts within their existing mental frameworks. • Thus, unless there is intervention, there is likelihood that the pupil’s conception may deviate from the intended one. • Pupils are known to misapply algorithms and rules in domains where they are inapplicable. • A surprisingly large proportion of pupils share the same misconceptions.

  6. Undiagnosed Misconceptions Become Owned and Embedded Misconceptions

  7. Undiagnosed Misconceptions Become Owned and Embedded Misconceptions Owned

  8. Formative Assessment is Shown to be more successful than direct instruction alone.

  9. PRE-Test ERRORS ANALYSIS PERCENTAGES

  10. POST-Test ERRORS ANALYSIS PERCENTAGES (approximates)

  11. A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON PRE • A(10%) • B (25%) • C (80%) • D (95%) • E (50%) • F (5%) • G (90%+) • H (5%) • J (10%) POST • A (5%) • B (5%) • C (30%) • D (45%) • E (5%) • F (less than 5%) • G (10%+) • H (30%) • J (5%)

  12. Some Difficult Discussions

  13. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN BRAIN! • Recognize…the rest of the world does not think the way a math teacher thinks. • …and that’s OK.

  14. #mathteacherproblemshttp://youtu.be/6LSOMiLMvAY HOW WE THINK HOW THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS

  15. Things I Can Let Go…. • No Work=No Credit • Pencil Only or No Credit • Do it How I Told You To • Show the Steps…no, not your steps…the ones I taught you • “MATH RULES”

  16. A Horizontal Look at Formative Assessment Lessons CONVINCING TEACHERS OF FAL VALUE ENSURING FIDELITY IN SCALING ACROSS SYSTEM

  17. The Beliefs of Educated Educators…. A Cycle

  18. TRAINING FOR TEACHERS • STRUCTURED FAL STUDY • TEACHERS START AS STUDENTS • DEMONSTRATE PROCESS • NO-PRESSURE OPPORTUNITIES TO RUN TRIALS • USE LESSONS PERTINENT TO THEIR GRADE/SUBJECT

  19. PROVIDING for TEACHERS • Lessons Provided by DOE • Matched lessons to units • Opportunities to Collaborate • Materials to Implement • Support for the Process • Time to Analyze Student Work

  20. MOTIVATING TEACHERS • THE GAME IS CHANGING: Math is no longer an exercise in choreography, but in true understanding and application • PARCC • SHELL • CCGPS • Standards for Mathematical Practice

  21. OUR PLATES, as MATH TEACHERS Standards for Mathematical Practice FAL Response to Intervention (R.T.I.) CCGPS New Curriculum Flexible Grouping Differentiated Instruction (D.I.) TASKS Lunch Duty

  22. FAL DOCUMENTS PROVIDED PDF is Bookmarked for Easy Access Mini-Lesson

  23. Gates Grant (Shell Centre) Formative Assessment, Compared to Instructional Framework

  24. Why does an FAL matter? Through Course Assessments Summary

  25. CHECKING WHAT YOU EXPECT • Make the Expectation Clear: “Non-Optional” Formative Assessments • Observe the Lessons • Ask for Student Work Samples • Ask to see Analysis of Student Errors

  26. There will be some initial resistance… Expect that.

  27. Things to Learn from Our Successes and Mistakes • Make FAL’s an expectation. • Set time aside to train every single teacher • Re-Train Teachers • Follow up with second time to train every single teacher in ANALYSIS of STUDENT WORK • Video!!! Praise works better than force! • Provide Materials, Share Materials, House Materials Centrally • Teachers provide (someone in leadership) dates of FAL enactment • Ask for feedback from teachers! • Ask for feedback from students!
