  1. Section A: Readiness Screeners

  2. Essential Training Question 1:Why should we screen all students for grade level readiness?

  3. Preventing Failure • Students struggling with mathematics may benefit from early interventions aimed at improving their mathematics ability and ultimately preventing subsequent failure.

  4. Essential Training Question 2:How can a district identify struggling learners for current grade level standards?

  5. Assessment on Current Standards • Before RtI… • District adopted curriculum may provide assessment resources to identify struggling students on current standards. • Assessment types range from “formal and infrequent” to “informal and frequent”. • End of unit assessments cansupport mastery learning ofcurrent grade level standards. • All assessment types focus onthe “who” and “what” forcurrent grade level standards. Handout #9

  6. Team Time: Focused Discussion • Reflect on your current district common assessments. • Do each type of common assessment exist? • Do teachers discuss the data to inform future decisions? Handout #10

  7. Anticipated Learning Gaps • If approximately 85% of all children successfully meet each grade level benchmark. • Then, approximately 15% of the students begin the next grade level with learning gaps. • Another type of common assessment is needed to identify student readiness. • Delta Math Grade Level Readiness Screeners Tier 3 ≈ 3-5% Tier 2 ≈ 10-15% Tier 1 ≈ 85%

  8. Essential Training Question 3:Howcan a district identify students who are not ready to learn current grade level standards?

  9. Assessment on Previous Standards Handout #11

  10. Team Time: Focused Discussion • How are the fall, winter and spring Delta Math readiness screeners intended to be used?

  11. Researcher Recommendations DELTA MATH tools… • Screens all students • Focuses on whole numbers and fractions • Monitors Progress • Includes motivational strategies in tier 2 and tier 3 interventions Handout #12 IES Practice Guide, 2009

  12. DELTA MATH Mission We provide educators with tools and protocols that identify targeted learning gaps and respond to individual student needs. Supports Math PLCs!

  13. Program Resources

  14. Essential Training Question 4:What are the DELTA MATH grade level readiness standards?

  15. Mathematical Focus IES Practice Guide: Recommendation #2, 2009

  16. Aligned to the CCSS Handouts #13-16

  17. Team Time: Focused Discussion • What would a classroom utopia look like if all students came ready to learn based on the Delta Math readiness standards?

  18. Essential Training Question 5:What does DELTA MATH screening look like?

  19. Readiness Screener Video • Watch for each Delta Math readiness screener resources. • Record observations and/or questions you would like to discuss after the video. Handout #175

  20. Video Summary • Program Guide A1 will be used to summarize the screening process captured during the video. Handout #18

  21. Step 1 • Follow the Script to guide students through each part of the screener. • Provides time approximations for scheduling sessions. • Also provides explicit direction for screener administration. • What to say… • What to do…includes wait time!

  22. Step 2 • Administer and collect Part 1 of the grade level readiness screener. • Classrooms provide a safe and familiar environment. • Timed to measure efficiency. • Workspace is provided to analyze student work. • Answer boxes decrease transfer errors during Part 2. • Store in student portfolios.

  23. Step 3 • Correct the timed facts problems included in grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 before beginning part 2 on the computer. • Grades 1-3 • Addition and Subtraction • Benchmark is 10 Correct in 1 min. • Grade 4 • Multiplication and Division • Benchmark is 10 Correct in 30 sec.

  24. Step 4 • Login to answer conceptual and short computation problems during Part 2. • Teachers read each problem from the grade level script. • Scratch paper and pencils are permitted.

  25. Step 5 • Hand back the completed Part 1 for students to transfer their answers. ……….

  26. Step 6 • Submit readiness screener data for instant analysis.

  27. Team Time: Focused Discussion • Discuss your observations and/or questions with your team. • If any questions remain unanswered, please write them down place them in the parking lot. Handout #17

  28. Essential Training Question 6:How will you find and prepare grade level scripts and part 1’s?

  29. Program Guide A2 • Please watch as we demonstrate: • Step 1 • Location on support website • Step 2 • Password for secure resources • Step 3 • Where to find the 2nd grade script and Part 1? • Step 4 • What to print? Handout #19

  30. Team Time: Focused Exploration • Questions 1 and 2 • Practice finding grade level scripts and part 1’s. • Questions 3, 4 and 5 • Explore components of scripts and part 1’s. Handout #20

  31. Essential Training Question 7:How can you prepare students for screening?

  32. Practice Screener Demo • Please feel free to participate in this demonstration, or simply watch and listen. • If you plan to participate, please find an alter ego. (Go live to the PD page on www.deltamath.org)

  33. Focused Reflection • Please review the practice screener script that you will use to support students and teachers. • Delivery choices • Student Login • Grade Level Password • Extra details in italics • Assessment vocabulary • Assessment honesty Handouts #21-24

  34. Essential Training Question 8:What does each Delta Math grade level readiness screeners look like?

  35. Team Time: Focused Exploration • Use the directions and grade level passwords to explore at least one Grade Level Screener. • Consider focusing on: • Content • Format • Vocabulary Handout #25
