  1. Providing Toolsfor Algebra SuccessSupported by Teachers for a New EraandCPEC Grant ITQ-09-607 Jaspreet Sandha Nicki Golden Ivan Cheng icheng@csun.edu

  2. The Problem • Algebra success rate is low • Only 6% of 828 Algebra 1 students at one high school scored “Proficient” or above in on the California Standards Test (CST) • Two thirds of those who fail Algebra in 8th or 9th grade fail to graduate on time

  3. The Solution “To improve their mathematics instruction, teachers must be able to analyze what they and their students are doing and consider how those actions are affecting students’ learning.” NCTM Principles and Standards, p. 18

  4. The Solution ”Teachers learn well just as students do – by studying, doing, and reflecting; by collaborating with other teachers; by looking closely at students and their work; and by sharing what they see.” by collaborating with other teachers Darling-Hammond (1999), p. 12

  5. The Solution? Traditional Model Professional Development Teacher Learning Student Achievement

  6. Collaboration That Works Student Centered Model Collaborative Inquiry Student Achievement

  7. Collaboration That Works Student Centered Model Professional Development Collaborative Inquiry Student Achievement Teacher Learning

  8. Collaboration That Works • Student Improvement Through Teacher Empowerment (SITTE) • Utilize teachers’ classrooms as “laboratories” for daily practical inquiry • Collaborative inquiry based on the Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) model • The Responsive Teaching Cycle (RTC) (SITTE)

  9. Responsive Teaching Cycle (RTC) • Daily collaboration around evidence of student learning • Focus on getting through to students rather than getting through a book Explore Establish Experiment Examine Student Learning

  10. Impact on Students Overall (% Correct) Mult. Choice (# Correct) Constructed Resp. (4 Max.)

  11. Impact on Students • Students passed Algebra at higher rates (77%-90% following a 4-week summer program)

  12. Impact on Students • Comparison of CST scores

  13. Develop Solidify Practice/Apply Launch Launch Launch Discuss Discuss Discuss Explore Explore Explore Stages of Mathematical Learning Hendrickson, Hilton, & Bahr (2010)

  14. Teaching Tools, Not Topics • Motivational tools • Organizational tools • Representational tools • Reasoning tools • Communication tools

  15. Implications • Students benefit from the collaboration of their teachers • Teachers benefit when educational settings are structured to allow collaboration
