1. MME-562 Seminar: Issues in Mathematics: Using Advanced Educational Technology to support Data-Driven Decision Making.

2. Happy Halloween

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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 1 Level 2

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
