K-2 Interventionists Training Session 3

1. K-2 Interventionists Training Session 3 November 7, 2013

2. Today’s Learning Targets We are learning to … • Understand the process for small group intervention in mathematics • Understand the meaning and importance of “explicit and systematic instruction.”

3. Success Criteria We will be successful when we can… • Verbalize the steps of the intervention process for mathematics • Identify what “systematic and explicit instruction” looks like and sounds like during small groupintervention.

4. Getting Started with Your Intervention Group

5. Reviewing the Process • Review MAP scores (Grades 1-2) • Identify any students in the 1%-30% OR students of concern as identified during PLC. • Locate MAP score on NWEA RIT ALIGNMENT • Administer CPA Diagnostic Assessment for that Grade Level • Plan intervention activities • Administer intervention – recording on Tier 2 Student Recording Sheet • Progress Monitor after 3 weeks using easyCBM.

7. Diagnostic Assessments & Resources MTSD Intervention Resources http://www.mtsd.k12.wi.us/departments/rtiresources.cfm

8. Tier 2 Student Intervention Plan Record Sheet • Purpose: • Planning • Recording activities • Recording attendance • Communication • ***This is a word document so change to meet your needs.

9. Advice from the 6-8 Group • Do something “fun” for your first day. • If needed, be prepared to explain to the kids why they are there and what your goals are for your time together. • Give the kids the time they need to complete their assessments. • Be prepared for the fact that our Critical Point Diagnostic Assessments are more rigorous than the easyCBM Progress Monitoring Probes.

10. A structure for instruction Make a picture Use concrete models: manipulatives Symbols Explain orally and/or in writing Give a context: tell a story

11. A Research Based Approach to Intervention

14. Explicit and Systematic Instruction Look back at your notes from our last meeting and gather 2 ideas to share regarding how you might explain “explicit and systematic instruction.” Jot those ideas down on a notecard.

15. Explicit and Systematic Instruction • Engaging tasks and clear problem-solving models (e.g., tape diagrams) • Time for students to think • Teacher modeling followed by guided and independent practice using carefully orchestrated examples and sequences of examples. • Corrective feedback as needed • Opportunities for students to participate and hear teachers thinking aloud • Concrete objects to understand abstract representations and notation (CRA)

17. Racing Bears • What’s the mathematics targeted in this game? • What representations of the quantities are visible in this game? • In what ways can we make the mathematics explicit? • How might we make the connections between representations explicit?

18. Knowing What Comes Before Counting on, Counting all & Making Easier Equivalent Problems Stepping WAY Back…

19. Counting Is More Than 1, 2, 3Observing Kindergartners as They Count • Count off by 5 • Read your designated areas • Be prepared to share • Summary • Example

20. How Children Learn Number Concepts By Kathy Richardson Understanding CountingCritical Learning Phases Counting Objects • Count with consistency, accuracy, and confidence • Use numbers to answer the question, “How many?” Knowing One More/One Less • Without counting • When numbers are presented out of sequence Counting Objects by Groups • Moves appropriate groups of counters when counting • Quantity stays the same when counting by different-sized groups Using Symbols • Uses numerals to describe quantity • Label a particular group of objects with the appropriate numeral

21. Practicing Explicit & Systematic Instruction Chapter 1: Beginning Number Concepts “Teacher-Directed Activities Prep as team & be ready to teach the lesson in Red. Group #1: 1-1, 1-2, 1-11, 1-12 Group #2: 1-3, 1-4, 1-13, 1-14 Group #3: 1-5, 1-6, 1-15, 1-16 Group #4: 1-7, 1-8, 1-17, 1-18 Group #5: 1-9, 1-10, 1-19, 1-20

22. Explicit and Systematic In what ways did your teachers make connections between the representations explicit? How did explicit instruction support your learning?
