  1. Impact of Inverted Curriculum and Modeling Instruction on Student Achievement in Science Tom Cheatham (MTSU), Jennifer Dye (JP2), Ginger Rowell, Angela Barlow, Robert Carlton (MTSU) 2013 Institute for CTE Educators July 15-19 MTSU

  2. What does “College and Career Ready (CCR)” mean?1. HS student complete a “core” curriculum. (4 English, 4 math, 3 science, 3 social science)2. Meet ACT college readiness benchmarks (CRB) (English=18, Reading=21, Math=22, Science=24)What does it mean to say that a student with an ACT science score of 24 or higher is CR in science? >= 75% chance of earning a “C” or better in freshman biology or >= 50% chance of earning a “B” or better in freshman biology

  3. Does CCR require we meet CRB in all 4 subjects? ACT-Tested High School Graduates Meeting CRB 2012

  4. What are the TN average ACT scores in these 4 areas? Tennessee 2012 ACT Average Subscores and Corresponding CRB

  5. How can we do better? ACT claim: Test earlier EXPLORE in 8th Grade PLAN in 10th Grade ACT in 11th Grade (available on TDOE Report Card)

  6. We are testing early and often and still only meet CRB in English, on average. Only 21% of TN HS graduates meet CRB in science (2012). What else can be done to graduate more students CCR in science? Change the way we teach science!

  7. We may have the best opportunity ever to change how we teach Math/Science: CCSS-M and NGSSI hope we don’t mess this up. What else can be done to graduate more students CCR in science? I will show you data from JP2 using 3 methods.

  8. Two alternative strategies used at JP2: Inverted Curriculum (IC) and Modeling Instruction (MI) The IC is easy to understand: Traditional science curriculum (T): B – C – P Inverted science curriculum (IC): P – C – B Why would you do this? What is the advantage? It is a bit more complicated than P – C – B, right?

  9. 1. You can’t teach junior/senior level physics to freshman2. What physics can you teach freshman? Conceptual physics?3. Should not teach freshman biology to juniors, right? Molecular? Who is using the IC in Tennessee? JP2, Webb, Clarksville-Montgomery Co, Hamilton Co., others?

  10. In Modeling Instruction (MI), lectures and traditional content units are replaced with modeling cycles in which students, working in small groups, collaboratively collect data and construct a conceptual model to explain observations of a real-world system. In class, groups engage in model analysis using whiteboards with emphasis on Socratic dialog, responding to challenges, and employing multiple representations (diagrams, graphs or equations). The teacher then guides the development of a generalizable model which students will deploy and use to predict outcomes for new initial conditions or constraints. The modeling cycle concludes when a representative student from each group explains and defends their model of the real-world system, again using whiteboards. The teacher is responsible for ongoing Socratic dialog that challenges misconceptions, for defining the real-world problem, for guiding model development and deployment, and for formative assessment of student understanding.

  11. What does the study look like at JP2?Eight Graduating classes taught with three methods: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 [T], (Traditional science curriculum) 2010, 2011 [IC], (Inverted curriculum)2012, 2013 [IM2] (Inverted plus modeling C+B)(I know that 2013 graduates …)JP2 administers PLAN at beginning of 9th grade, ACT at end of 11th grade. Not same as public schools, but PLAN provides a good benchmark upon entry to HS. Data for JP2 on following slides

  12. Pope John Paul II PLAN Scores by Curriculum

  13. Pope John Paul II ACT Scores by Curriculum

  14. Changes to College Readiness by Curriculum m=math; s=science

  15. Students Changing from not CR on PLAN to CR on ACT by Curriculum P=PLAN; A=ACT

  16. Off-Target on PLAN to CR on ACT by Curriculum

  17. Clarksville Montgomery County Senior Math and Science

  18. Clarksville Montgomery County Biology EOC
