  1. REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL LAB ~ APPALACHIA The Effects of Kentucky Virtual High School’s Hybrid Course in Algebra I on Teaching Practices, Classroom Quality, and Adolescent Learning On-Line Collaboration January 2010 Series Mathematical Discourse & Classroom Visits

  2. Goals for On-Line Collaboration • On-line Collaboration using Horizon Wimba: • Share teaching strategies/resources, • Discuss planning instruction, • Analyze student work, • Share formative and summative assessment instruments/strategies that move learning forward, • Provide instructional structures where “feedback is focused on how students can improve related to learning goals,” • Others as defined by teachers and as need to address issues in the field – including new learning that promotes student achievement.

  3. Agenda • Technology Issues • December Results & Fall Stipends • Mathematical Discourse • School Visits

  4. Mathematical Literacy Strategies - Vocabulary Development - Writing to Learn - Reading to Learn - Academic Dialogue - Technology - Manipulatives - Modeling Sharing Strategies, Processes & Structures

  5. NCTM’s Communication Principle The Council's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) states that communication should be nurtured and that math instruction should enable all students to • Organize and consolidate their mathematical thinking through communication. • Communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others. • Analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and strategies of others. • Use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely.

  6. Strategy Integration • What strategies do you currently use to encourage student dialogue? • How do we create opportunities for students to have mathematical conversations about the content from the computer/virtual environment? • What evidence of those conversations are you gathering to formatively assess student learning?

  7. Articles • Analyzing Classroom Discourse To Advance Teaching And Learning, ASCD • A Writing Workshop In Mathematics Community Practice Of Content Discourse, NCTM • Inquiry Discourse Mathematics Instruction, NCTM • Lessons From Mr. Larson An Inductive Model Of Teaching For Orchestrating Mathematical Discourse, NCTM • Let's Talk Promoting Mathematical Discourse In The Classroom, NCTM • Making The Most Of Mathematical Discussions, NCTM • Mathematical Discourse Its Like Hearing A Foreign Language, NCTM • Never Say Anything A Student Can Say, NCTM • Teacher Orchestrated Classroom Arguments, NCTM • Using Mathematical Discourse To Support Learning Statistics, NCTM

  8. What Does The Research Say Regarding Mathematical Discourse? From the article that you read: • What is a new insight you garnered from the reading? • What is one thing that connects with, or makes sense to you, regarding best practices that are standards for the Algebra I Hybrid Study?

  9. Walkthrough Indicators for School Visits;Standards for Providing Support • Content Standards • Classroom Instructional Practice • Classroom Technology Practice • On-line Student Interaction

  10. Collegial Support http://www.kyvs.org/ Postings & Materials on Spotlight on Algebra http://67.202.209.114or http://kvhslive.wimba.com On-line discussions with colleagues http://hybridalgebra.wikispaces.com/ Postings, Materials, Discussions
