Presentation Transcript

  1. An Era of Standards • NCTM publishes standards in 1989 (content), 1991 (teaching), 1995 (assessment), and 2000 (revision). • Florida adopts first set of Sunshine State Standards for Math in 1996.

  2. An Era of Standards • By 2007, all 50 states have adopted Standards. • In 2006, Florida State Board of Education adopts a 6-year revision cycle of standards. Focus will be on higher levels of achievement, challenge, and rigor.

  3. Florida’s Office of Math & Science • Established by Commissioner Blomberg January 2007 • Responsible for implementing K-12 mathematics and science standards and education policies that improve student achievement and prepare students for success at the next level • Website: www.fldoestem.org

  4. Revision Process • September 2006 – Framers convene • October 2006 through January 2007 – Writers draft K-8 standards and secondary content standards with comment and review from framers • February through March 2007 - Public review and mathematicians review of drafts • April through June 2007 – Revisions of drafts based on public review • June 2007 – Evaluation of cognitive complexity of Benchmarks • August 2007 – Present new standards to the State Board of Education

  5. What did the Researchers Report?(content available at flstandards.org) 1996 Sunshine State Standards for Math could be improved by: • More Coherence (i.e., better logical progression of topics and complexity) • Less Overlap of topics: More Depth at each topic • Increase in Cognitive Complexity • Improved Clarity of Expectations

  6. Of the People, By the People,… • 20 people on the framer’s committee • 5 external experts • 22 people on the writer’s committee • 1,391 online reviewers completed a profile, resulting in 43,025 ratings of benchmarks • 15 expert review panelists • 22 depth of knowledge raters

  7. Structure of the Standards K-8 Grade Level -Big Ideas/Supporting Ideas -Benchmarks 9-12 Body of Knowledge -Standards -Benchmarks

  8. Where does this structure come from? • National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Curriculum Focal Points for grades K-8 (NCTM, 2006). • State Standards that scored well in evaluation by external reviews (such as CA, IN) provided structure for the Secondary Bodies of Knowledge.

  9. 1996 Grade Band Strand Benchmark Grade Level Expectation 2007 Body of Knowledge Standard Benchmark Supporting Idea Big Idea Depth of Knowledge Rating Terms in the 1996 and 2007 Standards

  10. What is a Supporting Idea? • Supporting Ideas are not subordinate to Big Ideas • Supporting Ideas may serve to prepare students for concepts or topics that will arise in later grades • Supporting Ideas may contain grade-level appropriate math concepts that are not included in the Big Ideas

  11. Coding Schema

  12. Comparing the Standards

  13. How is this accomplished? • Fewer topics per grade due to less repetition from year to year. • Move from “covering” topics to teaching them in-depth for long term learning. • Individual teachers will need to know how to begin each topic at the concrete level, move to the abstract, and connect it to more complex topics.

  14. Bodies Of Knowledge 9-12

  15. Moving Forward with the Mathematics Standards • Revisions began September 2006 • Adoption anticipated in August of 2007 • 2007-2008 Transition year • New course descriptions • Standards cross walk • Text book alignment • 2008-2009 Implementation year • 2010-2011 Assessment

  16. ALGEBRA Course Description Example: ALGEBRA I REGULAR GEOMETRY Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. Use coordinate geometry to find slopes, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and equations of lines. STATISTICS Use a regression line equation to make predictions.

  17. What does this mean for teachers? • Teachers will now have content specific benchmarks to lead their instruction, no longer being dependent upon the text for the content of the course they are teaching • End-of-course exams and pre-tests can be built from the benchmarks listed in course descriptions • Teachers and Administrators will know exactly what benchmarks are to be taught in each course and at each grade level

  18. What Role do the new Standards Play? • Define the content, knowledge, and abilities that a Florida K-12 mathematics student is expected to have and master at the end of each grade level or course. • Provide clear guidance to teachers for Depth of Knowledge and instructional goals. • Provide framework for textbooks and other instructional materials • Provide framework for Assessment • Serve as a guide to improve student learning in mathematics!
