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 April 2008 Series Connections to Multiple Representations of Linear Equations & Planning for Instruction
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 • May On-Line Series – Student Work?? • If you have created any tracking tools or projects please send them to us so that we can capture evidence and tell the story!

LESSON DESIGN USING KVS LESSONS • Learning Cycle:Activating Prior Knowledge, New Learning, Reflections • Vocabulary: Critical to communicating understanding • Multiple Representations:NAGS where Numbers within the table of values, Algebra within the equation, Graph of the algebraic equation, Sentence to describe the mathematics • Learning Goals: Verbalizing these goals with students and connecting to the Program of Studies
KVS LESSONS 16, 17, & 12 • LESSON 12: Slope–intercept of a line • LESSON 16: Solving systems using substitution • LESSON 17: Solving systems using elimination
POINTS of DISCUSSION • What questions are posed to students that engage them in mathematical discourse? Will they support students in constructing meaning? How and what can you anticipate regarding student responses? • How do you transition from f2f to independent/virtual environment? How do you transition back? • Is your tracking tool scaffolded & open-ended? How are you pushing your students to think beyond recall? • Is critical vocabulary developed? How?
NCTM- Equity means: • “Community members respect one another and value others' contributions. • Schools accept all experiences, beliefs, and ways of knowing mathematics. • Students and teachers have access to all necessary resources for optimal learning and personal growth. • High expectations, culturally relevant practices, attitudes that are free of bias, and unprejudiced beliefs expand and maximize the potential for learning. • All students have access to and engage in challenging, rigorous, and meaningful mathematical experiences.” • Specifically for our students embed the functional notation, even though the NROC course does not. (NCTM Position Statement on Equity, 2008)
SHARING STRATEGIES, PROCESSES, & STRUCTURES • Mathematical Literacy Strategies - Vocabulary Development - Writing to Learn - Reading to Learn - Academic Dialogue - Technology - Manipulatives - Modeling
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
REMINDERS • Office Hours: Monday from 9-10 AM & Tuesdays 1 -2. • April On-Line Series ( Tue 1ST, Wed 2ND, Thur 3RD ) • May On-Line Series (Thru 8TH, Mon- Wed 19TH – 21ST ) • Best Wishes during KCCT Testing sessions!!!! • Help Line: • - Bb: 866-590-9240 • - KDE, Paula White: 502-564-4772(#4512) • paula.white@education.ky.gov • - KDE, Kari Welch: 502-564-4772 (#4546), kari.welch@education.ky.gov • - KDE, Grace Yeh: 502-564-4772 (#4537) • grace.yeh@education.ky.gov • - Identify yourself as HYBRID ALGEBRA I TEACHER
