2013-2014 Math Kick-Off Meeting • What you need: • Math
WHAT are we doing? • Full implementation of CCSS for ELA and Math • Louisiana’s hybrid version of PARCC assessment for standardized testing • SLT’s for all subjects (that can be used to “pull up” your student performance score for VAM) • Edline (when ready) for communication with parents about classroom assignments, tests, etc. • Paper/pencil benchmark tests from OPSB (not Eagle)
HOW to Use Backward Design in CCSS Instructional Planning • Step 1: Identify target CCSS standards. • Referenced in OPSB /LDOE Unit Plans (L.6.2, RI.6.4) • Found in the LDOE Toolbox • Available at corestandards.org • RP – Ratio Proportion • NS – Number Systems • EE – Expressions/Equations • G – Geometry • SP – Statistics/Probablility
HOW to Use Backward Design in CCSS Instructional Planning • Step 2. Determine acceptable levels of evidence that support mastery of standards. • Daily/Weekly formative assessment • Mid-Unit and Unit summative assessment • LDOE End-of-Year Assessment Guidance • PARCC Sample Items (extra for 14-15) • PARCC Evidence Tables
HOW to Use Backward Design in CCSS Instructional Planning • Step 3. Design activities that will make desired results happen. • Design lesson plans with daily activities that use formative assessments to track progress • Create summative assessments that move students closer to the level of work that will be expected on standardized tests
WHERE can I find more ELA resources? • LDOE Toolbox • Mathematics Assessment Project • Free CCSS Math 6-12 eBook (membership required) • Inside Mathematics • Khan Academy
WHEN do I need to start? • Researching, planning and developing lessons, units, etc. - NOW! • Determining where my students are academically – now and when benchmark tests are available and you are ready.
Academic Language for ALL Subjects • How many ways can you word a prompt? • Justify > Explain > Show Work… • What are the different meanings for prompts between subjects? • Math – Justify your work for this problem… • ELA - Justify your response with evidence from text… • Science – Justify your hypothesis… • Social Studies – Justify your position on this argument… • OJHS Word Families Project
WHY does this matter? • We must give our students all the tools they need to show that they can do this work. • If the students succeed, we succeed…
3 Shifts in Mathematics • The Common Core State Standards signify the need to change practice in at least three primary areas: • Content – WHAT you teach • Instruction – HOW you teach • Assessment – HOW students show evidence of mastery
PARCC’s Core Commitments to Mathematics Assessment Quality • Focus: PARCC assessments will focus strongly on where the Standards focus. Students will have more time to master concepts at a deeper level. • Problems worth doing: Multi-step problems, conceptual questions, applications, and substantial procedures will be common, as in an excellent classroom. • Better Standards Demand Better Questions: Instead of reusing existing items, PARCC will develop custom items to the Standards. • Fidelity to the Standards (now in Teacher’s hands): PARCC evidences are rooted in the language of the Standards so that expectations remain the same in both instructional and assessment settings.
Using Technology to Advance Assessment and the Shifts • Capturing complex student responses through a device interface (e.g., using drawing tools, symbol palettes, etc.) • Machine scorable multi-step tasks are more efficient to administer and score.
