  1. Why I Want the NspireTM CX NavigatorTM in All My Mathematics Classrooms Tracy Slate, Regional T3 Trainer Dean of Instruction ASTEC Charter Schools Oklahoma City, OK Slate.tracy@me,com Msslate.weebly.com

  2. Reason #1: Experience • CCMS: Classroom Connectivity in Promoting Mathematics and Science Achievement (2005) • Four year research project using TI-Navigator in the Algebra 1 classroom • 118 teachers in 28 US states and 2 Canadian provinces • Supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through Grant R305K0050045 to The Ohio State University • 14% Mean Learning Gain on Algebra 1 Test When Compared to Control Group

  5. Changing Math Attitude • From zero level college mathematics classes for all Gore graduates to 15% of seniors concurrently enrolled in College Algebra • Added honors mathematics classes • Students taking two math classes in one year • Improved ACT mathematics scores

  6. Oklahoma’s Academic Performance Index Scores include State Test Results (43% Math), Dropout and Graduation Rates, Attendance, ACT Scores, AP Classes, College ReadinessGore High School went from being on the State Needs-Improvement List in 2005 to Ranking in the Top 4% of High Schools in the State Based on API Scores

  7. Reason #2: Things Have Changed • KIDS TODAY… • Learn anywhere, anytime, with and from anyone • Always on, always connected, expecting collaboration • Need to be engaged and involved • Demand personalized learning experiences • Linda Jordan, ICLE
