    19. 19 Three Phase Lesson Direct Instruction: 20% state learning objective CFU warm up/review (connect to prior learning) CFU introduce/teach (direct instruction): model, discuss, demonstrate CFU Guided Practice: 55% students follow teacher example CFU teacher gradually removes support CFU Goal: move students to independent work CFU How do you know when they are ready? When 80% or better are CONSISTENTLY correct.

    21. 21 Formative Assessment Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes.

    22. 22 Instructional Assessment Long-cycle Span: across units, terms Length: four weeks to one year Medium-cycle Span: within and between teaching units Length: one to four weeks Short-cycle Span: within and between lessons Length: day-by-day- 24 to 48 hours minute-by-minute- 5 seconds to 2 hours Wiliam, Dylan, What Does Research Say the Benefits of Formative Assessment Are? http://www.nctm.org/news/content.aspx?id=11466. Length= time between assessments Short cycle: in the moment, on the fly Can be formative if acted upon Most impact with short cycle Signals students at risk, but now what to do Daily/weekly fine grain Unit Quarterly Annually broad strokes Length= time between assessments Short cycle: in the moment, on the fly Can be formative if acted upon Most impact with short cycle Signals students at risk, but now what to do Daily/weekly fine grain Unit Quarterly Annually broad strokes

    23. 23 Short Cycle Assessment Teacher Collected Evidence: Whole group response Random questioning Target problems Ticket out the door 3-2-1 cards Warm up Daily quiz Know how to elicit evidence before instruction given Group response techniques : folded abcd thumbs up Random questioning: numbered sticks Group based on response to certain assigned problems: Stickers, marksKnow how to elicit evidence before instruction given Group response techniques : folded abcd thumbs up Random questioning: numbered sticks Group based on response to certain assigned problems: Stickers, marks

    24. 24 questions that they use with their students specifically to elicit the right kind of evidence of student learning. As an example, consider the four diagrams shown below. In which of the following diagrams, is one quarter of the area shaded? Diagram A is the obvious answer, but B is also correct. However, some students do not believe that one quarter of B is shaded because of a belief that the shaded parts have to be contiguous. Students who believe that one quarter of C is shaded have not understood that one region shaded out of four is not necessarily a quarter. Diagram D is perhaps the most interesting here. One quarter of this diagram is shaded, although the pieces are not all equal; students who rely too literally on the “equal areas” definition of fractions will say that D is not a correct response. By crafting questions that explicitly build in the under- and over-generalizations that we know students make, we can get far more useful information about what to do next. By equipping each student in the class with a set of cards with A, B, C and D on them, and by requiring all students to respond simultaneously with their answers, the teacher can generate a very solid evidence base for deciding whether the class is ready to move on. If every student responds with A, B and D, then the teacher can move on with confidence that the students have understood. If everyone simply responds with A, then the teacher may choose to re-teach some part of the topic. The most likely response, however, is for some students to respond correctly and for others to respond incorrectly, or incompletely. This provides the teacher with an opportunity to conduct a classroom discussion in which students with different views can be asked to justify their selections. questions that they use with their students specifically to elicit the right kind of evidence of student learning.

    27. 27 National Math Panel on FA Based on its review of research, the Panel recommends regular use of formative assessment, particularly for students in the elementary grades. These assessments need to provide information … (i.e., correlation of these measures with other measures of mathematics proficiency). For struggling students, frequent (e.g., weekly or biweekly) use of these assessments appears optimal, so that instruction can be adapted based on student progress. National Mathematics Panel, 2008

    28. 28 Three Tiered Intervention: RTI In this model key instructional decisions are based on assessment data. Data is collected and analyzed for strategic planning of targeting instruction. All students receive core instruction prevention, and/or remediation. Differentiating instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners is a key consideration at this level. Universal screening in core academic areas to identify each student’s proficiency level (typically 3 times a year). This data is used to 1) plan for the instructional needs of all students, 2) identify students who need extra support, and 3) determine whether the school’s instructional program is meeting the needs of the majority of students (80%).

Universal screening in core academic areas to identify each student’s proficiency level (typically 3 times a year). This data is used to 1) plan for the instructional needs of all students, 2) identify students who need extra support, and 3) determine whether the school’s instructional program is meeting the needs of the majority of students (80%).

    30. 30 Tier 2 Struggling students receive strategic instruction in addition to core. Students receive individualized interventions. Assessment information is collected in order to determine why a student is not developing at the same pace as their peers. OR All students who show similar, predictable difficulties systematically receive the same standard set of interventions. Assessment data is used to help teams form hypotheses for why a problem is occurring. Tier 2: Targeted Short-Term Interventions Students who respond poorly to group instructional strategies Two models for developing interventions at this level: Problem-Solving - Students receive individualized interventions that are developed using a team-based problem-solving process. In this model, assessment information is collected in order to determine why a student is not developing at the same pace as their peers and interventions are matched to the suspected hypothesis. Standard Treatment Protocol – All students who show similar, predictable difficulties (e.g., early literacy skills) systematically receive the same standard set of interventions. The standard treatment protocols are evidence-based interventions which have been found to produce positive effects for most students. Assessment data is used to help teams form hypotheses for why a problem is occurring. Additionally, assessment data is used to determine whether interventions are producing the desired improvement in the rate of learning (i.e., progress monitoring data).

    31. 31 Tier 3 Students receive intensive intervention. 1. Students show progress but need support not available in general education in order to maintain this progress, OR 2. Students do not display meaningful progress in spite of the intensive interventions. Students receive longer term, intensive instructional interventions designed to increase their rate of progress. Special education eligibility might be considered at this level. Information from the following source: National Association of State Directors of Special Education, Inc. (2005). Response to intervention: Policy considerations and implementation Tier 3: Intensive Instruction Consideration for Tier 3 services occurs when 1. Students show progress but need support not available in general education in order to maintain this progress, OR 2. Students do not display meaningful progress in spite of the intensive interventions. Students receive longer term, intensive instructional interventions designed to increase their rate of progress. Special education eligibility might be considered at this level. Individual diagnostic assessments are used to provide information on what skills an individual has or does not have in order to design individualized instruction that addresses deficit areas. Assessment data must distinguish between students who are deficient in target skills and determine their rate of progress.
