TACIB GOALS This model serves as the basis for the TACIB project and its research questions: • What are the effects of a dual language approach on student achievement in and attitudes toward science and mathematics? • What instructional activities in dual language classrooms facilitate students’ active engagement in learning science and mathematics? • How does parental engagement with dual language teachers and community partners enhance parents’ knowledge of and participation in students’ educational activities?
Shifting the Focus • Traditional U.S. • How can I teach my kids to get the answer to this problem? • Evaluate answers to determine proficiency. • Common Core/NGSS • How can I use this problem to teach the mathematics or science of this unit? • Examine responses to uncover student thinking and inform next steps pedagogically as all students move toward big idea(s) of a unit.
Session Goals • Better understand culturally/community relevant curriculum • Better understand the Common Core Mathematics and Next Generation Science Standards • Collaborate with Partner Teachers on Lesson Development / Curriculum Modification • Continue to build PLC mindset
Agenda • Sign in & eat! • Visit http://tacib.weebly.com/ if you’ve not recently • Two Spanish-English dictionaries and glossaries! • Several sites with integrated math/science units!! • Probabilidad • Mini lessons from Work Groups • LUNCH • Unit Development work • Updates & To-Dos before June 5

Curriculum Modification Work GOAL #1: Modify the existing grade 7 (and later grade 8) science and mathematics curriculum so that… • It has stronger cultural/community relevance, • It better reflects principles of CCSSM and NGSS, and • It can be offered in a bilingual (Spanish/English) format • STRATEGY: Identify units where cultural/community relevant learning and mathematics and/or science learning can overlap. • Target for 2014-15: Implement 3 interdisciplinary math/science units in Spanish GOAL #2: For all TACIB Teacher Fellows modify curriculum in all classes to reflect principles of CCSSM, NGSS, Cultural/Community Relevance. • STRATEGY: Examine “soft spots” in curriculum where students typically struggle and consider how to set up learning for these in a culturally/community relevant way. • Target for 2014-15: In every unit, there is at least one meaningful culturally/community relevant connection. • STRATEGY: Capture stories from parents and community members of using math and science in day-to-day activities. • Target for 2014-15: Library of at least 5 clips correlated to standards. Each TACIB Teacher Fellow uses at least one clip per semester.
Rubric to Guide Lesson Development, Implementation, & Reflection Lesson Analysis Tool for Culturally Responsive Teaching(see e-portfolio for May 5) • For deeper understanding, refer to pp. 1-8 of the article, “Making culturally responsive mathematics teaching explicit: A lesson analysis tool” • How can this help inform our work? • Giving Productive Feedback • Connected to rubric with evidence • Brief statements (send detailed comments electronically) • Not repetitive • Positive presupposition!
Team A Demo • 30-40 minutes mini-lesson • 5-10 minutes feedback based on rubric
Team B Demo • 30-40 minutes mini-lesson • 5-10 minutes feedback based on rubric
Team C Demo • 30-40 minutes mini-lesson • 5-10 minutes feedback based on rubric
Lunch – include informal mentoring on cloud sharing!Google Folder TACIB websiteTACIB Discussion Board Back by 12:45 PM
Planning for CCSSM/NGSS + P21 + TACIB • What should unit plans take into consideration? • Common Core Math and Next Generation Science Standards • Content • Practices • 21st Century Skills • 4Cs (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication) • Productive use of technology • Connection to real world • Cultural/Community Relevance • Biliteracy Especially Spanish language development (SLD)

Work on Unit Ideas, Lesson Plans • GOAL: 3 math/science interdisciplinary units in 7th grade • How does the unit fit with the current curriculum map? What will be modified? • Identify the “big ideas” for the unit. (reference CCSSM/NGSS) • Make a concept map. • Identify the learning outcomes for the unit. (reference CCSSM/NGSS) • What will students know and be able to do? • Identify the cultural/community relevance of the unit. • What will students learn about their culture/community? • How will this build on students’ prior knowledge and/or interests? • Decide on a set of lessons for the unit. • How will the learning progress? Should begin with concept development, then skills. Inquiry-based learning is central. • What types of assessments will be used?
