Exploring Foundational Principle : “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning”
“…teachers generally listen for the ‘correct’ answer instead of listening for what they can learn about the students’ thinking; they listen evaluatively rather than interpretively. The teachers with whom we have worked have tried to address this issue by asking students questions that either prompt students to think or provide teachers with information that they can use to adjust instruction to meet learning needs.” – Leahy, S., Lyon, C., Thompson, M., & William, D. (2005)
Goals of this session Deepen knowledge and understanding of the Foundational Principle – “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning” Connect this knowledge and understanding to a selected resource Share this learning with your Team deciding how it may impact your Numeracy plan
Reading/ Reflecting upon Foundational Principle - “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning” As you read page 9, note the strengths and challenges evident in your FOS/District work Explain how you know. What is the evidence of impact?
