Implementation Training Please sit with your team and open deltamath

1. Implementation TrainingPlease sit with your team and open www.deltamath.org

2. Welcome Who are we? • Mike Klavon • Ottawa Area ISD • Michigan’s Integrated Mathematics Initiative • Joe McKenzie • Ottawa Area ISD Today’s essential questions about Delta Math: • Why will we use it? • What resources are provided? • How will we use the resources?

3. Why? To identify all students who may not be ready to learn grade level content standards and monitor their progress during targeted tier 2 intervention

4. What? Tools include online readiness screeners, data reports and paper-based progress monitoring

5. How? Preview the essential components of each implementation guide

6. Today’s Training Topics • Screen students for readiness • Identify students who may not be ready-to-learn • Provide targeted tier 2 interventions • Monitor progress during targeted tier 2 interventions

7. Team Introductions Building Administrator…please introduce yourself and team members • Name • District • Building • Team members

8. House Keeping/Ground Rules • Restrooms • Handouts and computers • Team Time • Available when invited • Parking Lot • Post questions for group (Why, what and how?) • Cell phones and side bar conversations • Please respect others

9. IES Practice Guide Provides: • Recommendations for implementing Math RtI • Checklist for carrying out the recommendations • How to carry out each recommendation • Potential Roadblocks and solutions

10. Today’s Focus Tier 1 Recommendation: #1 Screen all students to identify those at risk Tiers 2 and 3: #2 Focus on whole and rational numbers #3 Instruction should be explicit and systematic #7 Progress should be monitored #8 Instruction should include motivational strategies IES Practice Guide, 2009

11. Tiers of Support Intensive Interventions • Recommended for students not respondingTier 3to targeted tier 2 interventions5% • Time and frequency varies Targeted Interventions Tier 2 • Focused on readiness 15% • 30 minutes, 2 to 5 days per week Differentiated Core Instruction • On Grade-Level Tier 1 • 60 minutes per day 80% The Delta Math RtI Program resources focus on the identification of studentsfor targeted tier 2 and tier 3 intervention with progress monitoring.

12. IES Checklist

13. Training Topic 1 Screen students for readiness

14. Readiness Screeners Screen all students to identify those at risk (IES Rec. #1) 3 times per year

15. Readiness Standards Focus on whole and rational numbers (IES Rec. #2) High priority, end-of-year benchmarks from previous year common core state standards. Most readiness standards are measured using 3 questions. Benchmark is 2 out of 3 correct. Timed facts - Grades 1 through 4. Benchmark is 10 correct in 1 minute. Focus on whole numbers, fractions, integers and algebraic concepts Fall, winter and spring measure the same readiness standards. • Read the readiness standards for your grade level. • Discuss how screening for readiness can help your students.

21. Explore • Sign in as a student • Start a readiness screener of your choice • Click through to view each question • 1st and 2nd grade scripts have been provided

22. We will begin again @ _____ 14 ½ Minute Break

23. Training Topic 2 Identify students who may not be ready-to-learn

24. Watch Each Video Segment Recommendations for Using Data

25. Demonstrate/Explore Generating Reports • Sign in as a teacher • Set a Fall and Winter screener to Finished • Explore the Reports tab

26. Training Topic 3 Provide targeted tier 2 interventions

27. Explicit Instruction It is not: “Drill and Kill” and/or “Slower and Louder” Tier 2 and 3 instruction should be explicit and systematic (IES Rec. #3) • “Teachers provide clear models for solving a problem type using an array of examples.” • “Students receive extensive practice in use of newly learned strategies and skills.” • “Students are provided with opportunities to think aloud (i.e., talk through the decisions they make and the steps they take).” • “Students are provided with extensive feedback.” IES Practice Guide, “Assisting Struggling Students with Mathematics, p. 21

28. Lesson Components Good Advice: Demonstrate with 3 c’s • Read the sample explicit lesson plan by Anita Archer and Charles Hughes • Discuss components that you already implement when providing additional support • http://miblsi.cenmi.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=8SQEFkjDTPo%3d&tabid=1408

29. Systematic Instruction Tier 2 and 3 instruction should be explicit and systematic (IES Rec. #3) “Instruction should gradually build proficiency by introducing concepts in a logical order.For example…provide interventions on place value before providing interventions on adding and subtracting two digit numbers with regrouping.” IES Practice Guide, “Assisting Struggling Students with Mathematics, p. 22

30. Systematic Order Sequenced to provide“just-in-time” intervention to support core instruction.

31. Training Topic 4 Monitor progress during targeted tier 2 intervention

32. Progress Monitoring Tier 2 and 3 progress should be monitored (IES Rec. #7)

33. Quick Checks Why? • Use to measure progress towards the learning target • Similar to the screener informat and levels of difficulty • Greater sensitivity than the screener • Available in forms A, B, Cand D

34. Growth Charts Why? • Document daily intervention • Use student data to create flexible groups 9/23/13 2 Lesson 9, Activity 1 9/24/13 3 9/25/13 5 Lesson 9, Activity 2 9/26/13 5 Game: What Number Am I? 9/27/13 6 Game: What Number Am I?

35. Student Motivation Tier 2 and 3 instruction should includemotivational strategies (IES Rec. #8) Use Quick Checks and Growth Charts to: • Provide timely feedback when student score their own Quick Checks • Allow students to visually chart their own progress • Set personal goals for improvement • Reward students for their accomplishments, such as meeting the learning goal.
