  1. REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL LAB ~ APPALACHIA The Effects of Kentucky Virtual High School’s Hybrid Course in Algebra I on Teaching Practices, Classroom Quality, and Adolescent Learning ACT 8: RADICALS On-Line Professional Development JULY 22, 2009

  2. AGENDA • Welcome and Introductions • Equipment check-in & updates • Continuation of KYVS ALG I: 10.2, 20.1 &.2, 22.3 discussions • Sharing of Lesson Tracking Tools & posting on the wiki • Discussion of ACT 8 & connections to KYVS ALG I • Lesson Planning • Linking to KET EncycloMedia • Assignment for ACT 9 Discussion: • Wednesday, July 29, 2009

  3. Investigate Lessons & Tracking Tools Assignments: Within the Breakout Room: Investigate the Lesson; Use the Tracking Tool developed for that Lesson and make suggestions for edits; Report back whole group. • 10.2 (Solutions to an Equation; • 10.3 (Intercepts of Lines); • 20.1 & 20.2 (Exponents); • 22.3 ( Multiplying Polynomials)

  4. Sharing of Tracking Tools

  5. HYBRIDALGEBRA WIKI POSTING OF NOTE-TAKING DEVICES and/or OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES • Go to http://hybridalgebra.wikispaces.com • Login using your username and password created previously • Click on the link to the Lesson Plans page • Click on the edit this page button

  6. Editing the Page • The editing toolbar will appear at the top of the page • Find the “Insert Images and Files” button

  9. Discussion of ACT 8: RADICALS Highlights regarding content, instructional strategies, and/or reflections from ACT 8

  10. Modeling ( Graphs, Pictures, Arcs..) Manipulatives (Base Ten Tiles, Geoboard) Looking for Patterns Mnemonics – Memory Devices – FOIL Problem Solving – Real World Using a Formula ACT 8: SCENE 1- 3 How Do I Teach This?

  11. VOCABULARY for RADICALS Quotient Property of Square Roots Right Triangle Rational Number Radicand Hypotenuse Perfect Square Pythagorean Theorem Leg Square Root Conjugate nth Roots Radical Expression Irrational Number Product Property of Square Roots Hypotenuse Radical

  12. Connections: KYVS Algebra to SpotLight on Algebra SPOTLIGHT ON ALGEBRA: ACT 8, Radicals KYVS ALGEBRA I COURSE: Unit 7, Rational & Radical Expressions, and Equations • Lesson 34: Radical Expressions • Lesson 35: Finding Square Roots • Lesson 36: Radical Equations

  13. KET- EncycloMedia • Algebra Support for: • Providing an authentic purpose • Connecting to the world • Engaging students to learn the concept • Visualizing • Promoting student thinking/discussion/accessing prior knowledge • eLearning Ky; see menu to the left; KET EncycloMedia; access through http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/ or http://www.ket.org/education/encyclomedia.htm

  14. Planning Lessons Using KYVS Algebra I & Skill Set From Spotlight On Algebra √ How will you bundle your Units for ’09-’10? √ What are the structures you will put in place to support instructional strategies that motivate students to engage in learning Alg I? [Refer to Strategies listed behind TAB 14] √ For each structure, plan what formal feedback you will provide to move students into their ’zone of promixal development.’ [See “Linking Formative Assessment to Scaffolding,” pp 1]

  15. Planning Instruction Using KYVS Alg I(cont.) • What do you want the students to know and be able to do? • How will you know that they know and can do? • Formative • Summative • How will you use KYVS ALG I – what lesson and in what context? Will Spotlight on Algebra help? How? • How will you access prior knowledge? • What is the new learning? How will students keep track and/or organize this learning? • What form of student/teacher reflection will you use? [See Research Standards behind TAB 2]

  16. Expectations for Next Steps • Work through all of ACT 9 for Wednesday, July 29, 2009. • Continue with investigating KET Encyclomedia for segments that provide an access point for critical ALG I concepts. • Organize information in your research binder. • Dates to Remember: • On-Line PD Make-up is Tuesday, August 4, 2009. • Extension of Bb training is Thursday, August 13 in Louisville, JCTC.

  17. Collegial Support http://www.kyvs.org/ Postings & Materials on Spotlight on Algebra, resources through the Blended/Hybrid Learning Community http://67.202.209.114or http://kvhslive.wimba.com On-line discussions with colleagues http://hybridalgebra.wikispaces.com/ Postings, Materials, Discussions

  18. Thanks for sharing your thinking – you will make a difference with your students! The Hybrid Algebra I Study captures the art & science of instructional best practices. Continue to plan for blended instruction & see you Wednesday, July 29, 2009!
