NC EOG Session • The following slides were taken (via photograph) by me at the NC DPI Leadership Conference. • March 22, 2013
Caution • Don't use released items as a summative test. • Better to use one-by one, trickle down as teaching tools.
Grid-In Response • Grid-in-response items tell us more than multiple choice- that way we can have fewer questions but get the same reliability (remember, grid-in items are 5th grade and up ONLY).
READY • As teachers, principals and parents, we owe every child an education that properly prepares him or her for their next big steps after graduation --- college, career and adulthood" - www.ncpublicschools.org/ready
Ready to start college after high school graduation without a remedial course. • Ready to seek, understand, and manipulate numbers for personal finance, for example, buying decisions and retirement planning.
Ready - in Math • Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley won the 2012 Nobel in Economics (They were READY). Matching program grew out of game theory. Many successful kidney transplants resulted. • They were READY
CAUTION • We were cautioned NOT to use the released items to HELP students learn!!! • DPI suggested items be done one at a time by students, and students reflect on them using the "WALKABOUT" method
Walkabout • "Walkabout" = a formative approach to using released questions.
Walkabout Destination • Each student has tried each question under non-stressful conditions • after trying a question, receiving and creating descriptive feedback rather than getting a score that is recorded in the grade book, students should...
Each Student Has... • Done point-of-entry analysis. "What will help me or other students understand this problem?" make a drawing , etc.
Each Student Has... • Done Error analysis, alone and/or in classroom discussion. "What are the possible mistakes that I made or that other students made? Why"
Each Student Has... • Done recovery analysis: "What are ways to overcome common mistakes?" "What are the concepts that I need to understnad better" "What are the skills I need to practice more?"
Each Student Has... • Connected the question to at least one Common Core standard. What other questions could be asked to assess this standard.
Each Student Has... • Connected the question to at least one of the 8 Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice
Walkabout - Path • By definition, a walkabout does not have one path • Each teacher, each class, and each question has an individual path. • Trickle out Questions! One or a few at a time!
How Long will the test be? • General assessment: an estimated time of 3 hours to 4 hours maximum without accommodations
Don't Get Test Crazy! • To get them prepared for formative assessments, students need to ... • Engage in work that makes them THINK • Challenges and inspires them • Engages them in mathematical discourse
Take-Aways • Questions should be trickled-in • Practice Test questions don't TEACH
