  3. 25 Districts in MA

  4. Who is Andrew? • Andrew Burnett7th Grade Teacher • Has been using ASSISTments for 3 years. • Builds content shared with others. • Homework • Skill Building • Data Driven Benchmarks

  5. Who is Cristina? • Cristina Heffernan • Chief Teacher Trainer, • Co-Founder of ASSISTments • 7 years as Math Teacher • 8 Year as math coach and PD provider • Leads Professional Development • Trains Trainers • Monitors Content • Runs Studies

  6. Homework

  7. Homework The Experiment • Experiment: Correctness feedback and went over homework with the item report. • Control: Entered in test mode, read answers in class the next day. The Results Pre Entering School After Going Over • Control 8% 58% 65% • Experiment 7% 70% 82%

  8. Control Experimental

  9. One Student’s experience Control Experimental

  10. Skill Building with Re-Assessment and Re-Training ARRS

  11. ARRS The Experiment • Experiment: Given practice until 3 right in a row and then continual re-assessment and re-training. • Control: Only practiced until they get 3 right in a row. The Results

  12. Parent Notification Hi Mr. Burnett,  This is a great system.  Do you know if all of the math teachers at Millbury are using this.  I have an older son in 10th at the HS and this would be a good system to keep track of his progress as well.   Thanks,

  13. Parent Notification The Experiment • Experiment: Received an automatic notice each Friday about the results of all the assignments. • Control: Did not receive a notice. The Results • Parents felt more connected (p<.05). • The homework completion rate increased was statistically significant (p<.05).

  14. Quasi-Experimental The Experiment: • Compute gain scores from 6th to 7th grade. • 3 experimental schools with one control. The Results: • Reliable improvement on state tests (.3 standard deviation effect size.) • Big benefit for special education students. • Teacher effect.

  15. Evaluate the Web

  16. Evaluate the Web The Experiment • Experiment: Students randomly get one website or the other randomly. • Do student learn more if we give them the option to see web pages? The Results

  17. Data Driven
