Seminar: Issues in Mathematics: Using Advanced Educational Technology to support Data-Driven Decision Making.

Happy Halloween

Set-up

• Open Turing’s Class• Open WIKI-

Go to PIMSE link Go to your name at the bottom of the page. Write about the routines you have developed

this year with ASSISTment. Write as a way to share with others what you have found successful. Include changes you have made to trouble shoot problems.

Agenda

• Report on Successful Routines.• Level 2 Formative Assessment. The

student’s roll in the Formative Assessment cycle

• Parent Notification• Studies we are running IQP Presentations• Looking at Open Response on ASSISTment• Beta Essay Grading

Popham’s FAC Definition

Formative assessment is a planned process in which assessment-elicited evidence of students’ status is used by teachers to adjust their ongoing instructional procedures or by students to adjust their current learning tactics. Pg 6

Level 1Level 2

Your students?

Think Pair Share• You have a learning objective. A lesson is carried

out. You provide an assessment (you could even provide an assessment during the lesson).

• Brainstorm two lists. How do you include your students in monitoring if they

have reached the learning objective. How could you include your students in monitoring if

they have reached the learning objective.

• Pair up and expand the list. Take note of those that use ASSISTment.

• Share the list with the group.

Student inclusion ideas?

• Have the students look at their item report while you are all looking at the class item report

• In Donna Lee Tignor she had the student write responses for the problems they got wrong. So they did look at the results.

• DL listed the results in a folder so the students would see their own progress each week.

• My Yoga teacher asked us to take note of how far we could stretch before and after class.

• If you give an open response question on ASSISTment. Pick 4 particular ones to go over and then have your students go back to their item report and grade their own or grade theirs and their partners. Then give them a second chance.

They know the results. Then What?

• Popham talks a lot about students changing their learning tactics.

• This is a BIG topic. Over the next three weeks ask yourself: Do I make the learning objectives clear to my

students? Do they know if they have or have not attained the

learning objective? Do they know what they can do to remedy any

deficiencies. Do you know what they try to do? Ask them.

Parent Notification

• Zach Brodrick and Parent Notification!

Sorting through Student Work

• Do the Math Problem Set 10 “MSA - Exit Card - Linear or Not!”

• Sort the responses into 3 piles for scores of 0, 1 or 2.

If you were going to pick 3 responses to share with the class which ones would you share and why?

ASSISTment Issues

• Grading Essays• Anything else?

November Comments

• Last meeting we ran out of time for this activity. I want to try again. I value your input: that worked you would change you learned about on November 14 and are excited to

implement. and or just ask a question.

Go to Turing’s Class and do Problem Set #11

ASSISTment/WPI Opportunities
