+Agenda
Formative Assessment Cycle and Thinking through a lesson
Putting the Shifts into practice—How do we implement Rigor and SMP #3?
Understanding different Learning Designs
Planning next steps
LUNCH 12:30ish-1:30ish
+Purpose of the Fellows
To be a part of and support a system that focuses on math making sense for all students. --Leadership in the Extended Community
This requires all of us to be intentional about putting the shifts into practice to reflect the CCSS vision both around the student making sense of the mathematics and demonstrating that understanding. –Leadership of Others and Self
The Fellows will use a formative assessment cycle that will support change in practice and experiences students have with the mathematics. –Leadership of Self
+Plan for the year
Four regional meetings
One state-wide meeting (for a subset of the Fellows)
Meetings centered around:
Leadership of Self Learning together and learning of new resources Engaging in a formative assessment cycle
Leadership of Others Reflecting on leading adult learners—Professional Development
Clips Planning next steps
Leadership in the Extended Community Providing feedback to the state-wide system Planning next steps
+Reflect on the PD you accomplished since our last meeting or that you are planning
Discuss with your group: What did you do? Who was your audience? How did it go? What were your challenges?OR What are you planning on doing? Who will your audience be? What challenges do you see arising?
+Formative Assessment is…..Leadership of Self and Others

+Four Attributes of the Formative Assessment Process“The essential purpose of formative assessment is to move students’ learning forward while their learning is still in the process of developing.”

+Clarify Intended Learning
Helps students and teachers understand expectations and goals (what students will learn, not activities)
Learning friendly targets and success criteria which indicate the measureable behavior
Clarify IntendedLearning
+Smith
“By being clear on exactly what students will learn, you will be better positioned to capitalize on opportunities to advance the mathematics in the lesson and make decision about what to emphasize and de-emphasize.”
-Margaret S. Smith Thinking through a Lesson
Clarify IntendedLearning
+Elicit Evidence
No single way to elicit evidence: InteractionAppropriate questionsFocused observationAnalyzing student work
Can be planned or spontaneous
Informal assessment activities by:Teacher, Self-assessment, or Peers
Elicit Evidence
+Smith
“The questions you ask during instruction determine what students learn and understand about mathematics.”
-Margaret S. Smith Thinking through a Lesson
Elicit Evidence
+Interpret Evidence
Used to determine where the students are in relationship to the learning target
Informs adjustments to instructional plans
Can be interpreted by:Teacher, Student, or Peers
Interpret Evidence
+Act on Evidence Provide Timely, Descriptive and Actionable
Feedback Give active steps students can take to move
toward the learning target Have students self-assess and use peer
assessment Help students be aware of strategies they
can use to move learning forward (draw a picture, work backward, reread a text)
Adjust Instruction Mini tutoring groups Flexible student group work
Act onEvidence
+Heritage
“The important thing about formative assessment is that it is not a test, nor an instrument, but rather an approach to teaching and learning that uses feedback as its centerpiece in a supportive classroom context.”

+The Three Shifts in Mathematics—Leadership of Self and Others
Focus: Strongly where the standards focus
Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades
Rigor: In major topics, pursue with equal intensity: Conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application
+Answer getting vs.
Learning Mathematics
USA“How can I teach my students to get the
answer to this problem?”
Japan“How can I use this problem to teach the
mathematics of this unit?”
+Shift Three: Rigor Equal intensity in conceptual understanding, procedural skill/fluency, and application
The CCSSM require: Solid conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application of skills in problem solving situations
In the major work of the grade, this requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three

+Highlighting Aspects of Rigor in the Standards
Conceptual Understanding:3.NF.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
Procedural Skill and Fluency:5.NBT.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Application:7.NS.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

+3 Components of RigorLeadership of Self and OthersAs a group: Review your standards for
you domain of focus and categorize them based on the aspects of Rigor: K-2 NBT 3-5 NF 6-7 RP 8 EE Alg 1 Interpreting Functions Geo Trigonometric Functions Alg 2 Building Functions
+Digging into Conceptual Understanding
Conceptual knowledge of mathematics consists of logical relationships constructed internally and existing in the mind as a network of ideas…by its very nature, conceptual knowledge is knowledge that is understood
--John Van de Walle (2004)
+Connecting it to PracticeLeadership of Self and Others
As you watch the video consider: The role of the teacher in supporting
conceptual understanding and SMP #3 The students’ actions that build their
conceptual understanding and demonstrate SMP #3
+Implementing the CCSS Change
The new standards require students to achieve more rigorous content outcomes, apply their content knowledge in authentic situations, solve problems, engage in critical and creative thinking, work collaboratively with their peers, and demonstrate or present their learning. To achieve this vision, allocation and application of professional learning resources must
change. … The success of the Common Core State Standards depends on educators’ capacity to make the instructional shifts the standards require.— Killion, J. & Hirsh, S. (2012). Meet the promise of content standards: Investing inprofessional learning, p. 3. Oxford, OH: Learning Forward.
+Professional Learning

between the two scenarios.
3. Predict which professional learning scenario will result in a higher level of implementation. Explain why.
