The Math Development Record (MDR)

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Teachers should have a copy in hand to follow along

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics How is this helping you as a teacher? Rather than “here is something else for you to do” As a teacher you want to find a system that works for you. Can be for a unit – not necessarily every day. You need data to support that you have given support to these students. It is not about every unit or every day – it depends on what you are doing and how that student fits into the plan. Reflection… did it work? What is the evidence? The sample tracking forms are just that – samples. The teacher has to find something that works for her/him.

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Step 1 review the EEMLA results for students not yet meeting expectations note student strengths and needs on the MDR Distribute the SSTS and a sample EEMLA report for use during this activity. Teachers will use the sample and the SSTS to complete the task. Facilitators of the session should have an overhead, chartpaper or word document of the SSTS prepared for use during this activity.

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Step 2 review Cumulative Record File and other sources of data based on the assessment results, previous supports, and ongoing classroom observations, draft specific and measurable goals for mathematical development Complete the “goal and measure” portion of the Action Plan, using the sample report.

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Step 3 Create the new or revised MDR and fill in the appropriate data Complete the “goal and measure” portion of the Action Plan, using the sample report.

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Step 4 plan, implement, and record supports and progress on Student Support Tracking Sheet Select one of the goals and fill in the Whole Class/Activity and Support Provided sections using the sample report.

Planning and Tracking Process for Students Not Yet Meeting Expectations in Mathematics Step 5 summarize the SSTS to update progress at the end of each term on MDR hold transition meetings prior to the end of the school year and complete all information on MDR File the completed MDR with teacher’s (and principal’s, if required) signature in CUM file Call to their attention to the remaining section of the form.
