An Alternative Course Motivation: high school choice college- and work-ready Development Content Pilot test Lessons learned

Moving Beyond Course Requirements to Clarifying What Students Should Know and Be Able to Do marketing.asp#standards CRMS

Senior Course Development Created by faculty from GRCC and partner school districts. Provides rigorous alternative to calculus track for high-school seniors.

Senior Course Development Investigate deep and interesting topics in mathematics while preserving and improving algebra competency. Rekindle the fun, excitement and beauty of mathematics.

Pre-Development Issues 1 semester or 2 semester course Module based or stand alone course H.S minimum math requirements Competing AP math courses

Pre-Development Issues Available high school math teachers Time to meet What’s in a name? Discrete Math BAT Math Advanced Quantitative Reasoning College-Prep Math Applications in Mathematical Reasoning

Course Content Semester I Graph Theory Scheduling Linear Programming Voting Statistics and Probability Fair Division Game Theory

Course Content Semester II Finance Geometry Modeling continuous functions: linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic

Process (equal in importance to content!) Inquiry Problem solving Reasoning Communication

Pedagogy (equal in importance to content!) Active engagement Authentic (real-world) activities Study skills for success

Examples of Activities Bob and Carol House Re-model

The Teachers Professional development workshops Feedback from the classroom “Every day is different… a fresh start for each unit of study.”

Lessons Learned Textbooks Curriculum resources / time Teacher preparation Teacher learning community Student preparation Communication with counselors and students

Course Assessment Assess students at beginning and end of year with WAMAP. Administer student and teacher perception surveys Observe students’ progress post-senior year

Website

Yakima Valley Project Different school districts so courses based on student needs Students must have passed third year of math to take the course Option for Juniors or Seniors who don’t want Pre-Calculus or Statistics Main focus is on college Work in progress

Wapato and Mabton Content – probability, statistics and mathematical modeling ILAPS Appropriate technology for success in college Community business or organization project Mainly for Seniors

West Valley - Yakima Content – polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions Prepare for college placement exams Approval for course

Lessons Learned Writing and piloting ILAPS Modular class with no textbook Different districts working toward a similar goal Other types of modules Other teachers as part of the process Time and resources
