  3. Trainer of Trainer • Dates • Agenda • Curriculum • Delivery Models • Components of the Curriculum

  4. Key Activities of Math Plus • Innovative, needs-based math program designed specifically for highly mobile, migrant students in grades K-12 that adapts MATEMATICA and PASS curricula for use in both the classroom and home-based service delivery. • A design the promotes the preparation of migrant students for higher level math encompassing 5 dimensions of mathematical proficiency.

  5. A high quality, professional development component that is designed to provide all MATH PLUS instructors with the skills and knowledge that are needed to successfully carry out the project goal, objectives, and activities;

  6. Key Activities • The involvement of parents as partners with the school to facilitate their child’s learning; and • The innovative use of technology for the delivery of instruction to students and professional development to instructional staff.

  7. MATH PLUS Objectives Obj 1: Student achievement Math Plus students will demonstrate a statistically significant (p <.05) gain on all Math Plus curriculum-based pre/post assessments.

  8. Obj 2: Professional developmentMath Plus training will result in an improvement of project teachers’ instructional skills which in turn will result in a statistically significant improvement (p < .05) in student math performance.

  9. Obj 3: Drop out prevention/ graduation enhancement An increasing percentage of secondary Math Plus students (grades 9-12) will complete courses leading toward secondary credit accrual

  10. Obj 4: Expand access to innovative education technologiesMath Plus training will improve teachers’ successful use of technology which in turn will result in a statistically significant increase (p <.05) in student math performance.

  11. Obj 5: Parent involvementParents of Math+ students will become more involved in their child’s education as measured by a statistically significant gain on the Parent Involvement Rubric

  12. Math Plus PILOT SITES NON-PILOT SITES

  13. Pilot Responsibilities • Implement Math Plus through a four to six week program • Provide high quality direct instruction via the Math Plus curriculum

  14. Participate in the Math Plus professional development component • Provide the necessary technology at each participating site

  15. Provide opportunities for parent training • Administer the required student assessments • Collect and report specified data for accountability and evaluation

  23. Trainer-of-Trainer Information • April 12-13, 2007 • Holiday Inn Express/San Antonio Airport • Registration online at • http://projectsmart.esc20.net

  24. Who should attend? • ESC’s with pilot sites • A trainer with experience related to: • SIOP • Balanced Literacy • Cognitively Guided Instruction • Mathematical Proficiencies • At the very least, an experienced trainer

  25. Math Plus Curriculum Components (K-8) • Quick Unit Snapshot • Daily Routine • Core - Classroom Lesson • Core -TV Lesson • Enrichment

  26. Curriculum • Expanded Balanced Literacy • Expanded Technology Extensions • SIOP—Includes Meaningful Interaction, Language and Content Objectives, Building Background Knowledge, and 4 Modalities (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) • CGI

  27. What is Balanced Literacy? • Includes instruction in • Phonological awareness • Phonics • Vocabulary • Fluency • Comprehension • Writing

  28. What is Balanced Literacy? • Reading and writing forchildren, withchildren and by children.

  29. Challenges • English Language Learners (ELLs) face several challenges • Language • Education • Literacy • Mobility • Poverty • Homeless

  30. What you need to know about Second Language Acquisition BICS Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills CALP Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency

  31. What is SIOP? • A lesson delivery system that allows teachers to deliver lessons that… • incorporate strategies consistently • considers the unique academic needs of students learning English • Allows students to learn English while acquiring grade level content

  32. Basis for CGI? • “Cognitively Guided Instruction is based on an integrated program of research focused on the development of students’ mathematical thinking, on instruction that influences that development; on teacher’s knowledge and beliefs that influence their instructional practices; and on the way that teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices are influenced by their understanding of students’ mathematical thinking.” From Children’s Mathematics Cognitively Guided Instruction

  33. What is CGI? • An approach to mathematics instruction for young children that allows for differentiation of instruction.

  34. What is CGI? • A student-centered approach in which the teacher questions the student to find out what he is capable of and poses problems that move the child to more complex thinking.

  35. What is CGI? • A problem-solving based approach that emphasizes the importance of context and meaningful interaction between students.

  36. Assessments • Pre-, Mid-, and Post Tests Only • Simplified Scoring • Fewer items • Time given in the lesson for testing • Tested content in core lesson only
