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 2009 Series Mathematical Discourse & Classroom Visits
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.
NUTS & BOLTS • Technology Issues • Control Panel Hints • December Results • School Visits
Walkthrough Indicators for School Visits • Content Standards • Classroom Instructional Practice • Classroom Technology Practice • On-line Student Interaction
SHARING STRATEGIES, PROCESSES, & STRUCTURES • Mathematical Literacy Strategies - Vocabulary Development - Writing to Learn - Reading to Learn - Academic Dialogue - Technology - Manipulatives - Modeling
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.
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?
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?
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 ORCHECTRATING 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
SHARING STRATEGIES, PROCESSES, & STRUCTURES (continued) • Formative or Summative Assessments Created and Used • Instructional Issues or Barriers You Are Facing or Encountering • Shared Experiences and/or Suggestions from Colleagues (Community of Learners) • Processes, Structures, and/or Lessons that Promote Student Achievement • Others
