5. Keys to success Math Topics

6. 3 Key Elements to a successful AIMS Prep Class • 1. Class- scheduling and size • 2.Structure-what is taught and how • 3. State of mind

7. Class Scheduling • At CCP we hand schedule every kid • All Sophomores take Math Topics • Juniors and seniors are scheduled by need, attitude, character and commitment. • All Math Topics classes are capped in class size. Approximately 20-25.

8. Data Check Point • Using Galileo Reports • Concept Level Performance • Make Conclusions • Create a Plan

9. Plan for your Class

10. Structure • Remember you cant teach them everything!A scope and sequence is used to tackle the major strands tested. • Familiarity of the test breeds better scores! AIMS style practice tests/strand tests are used frequently to familiarize. • All work assigned is to be completed that day and turned in. Every assignment is graded and returned the next day so questions or concerns can be answered before moving on. Incomplete assignments are never accepted! • Weekly cumulative quizzes are given every Friday and reviewed as a class the next day. • AIMS/multiple choice test taking skill are constantly shown and taught.

11. Structure Your Class • What are your expectations for students? • What are you grading procedures and practices? • How and when are you going to provide feedback? • How and when are you going to provide AIMS like testing practice?

12. What will it look like for you?

13. State of mind • You are teaching them more than how to pass a test. • Build a community with the class, express that all students can be successful, commit to the work that is to be done, use the strategies taught in the class. • “Us against them” philosophy
