19. OK... Before showing the link consider the following…

38. Why put these resources together for all Ohio educators?

39. Example of teacher made test

40. Deep Understanding of Content In a standards based classroom the teacher clearly understands not only what must be taught, but the depth of understanding necessary for success. Grade 6 Mathematics I teach diameter I teach circumference Estimate perimeter or circumference and area of circles… Measure attributes and establish formulas.

41. 6th Grade Practice Achievement Test Question 11.Tim’s bicycle tire has a diameter of two feet. Tim knows that the circumference of a circle is about three times its diameter. About how far would Tim’s bicycle travel when the tire has made five revolutions? A.10 feetC. 50 feet B.30 feetD. 60 feet Clear expectations are essential!

42. So, Let’s look at a question from the 8th science test… Do you think vocabulary was an issue?

43. Question 13, Spring, 2008 OAT, Science

45. Option A is the correct answer.

46. How did Ohio students do? 46% of total students who took this test chose "A" as their answer 30% of total students who took this test chose "B" as their answer 5% of total students who took this test chose "C" as their answer 19% of total students who took this test chose "D" as their answer

47. Or…. Students might not have a clue what these terms mean! Let’s look at the concept of mutualism.

48. Mutualism The interaction of organisms within an ecosystem in a manner that significantly benefits both, although the resulting relationship is not critical to the continued existence of either.

49. Mutualism The interaction of organisms within an ecosystem in a manner that significantly benefits both, although the resulting relationship is not critical to the continued existence of either. The plover bird and alligator

50. Nonlinguistic Representations A variety of activities to produce nonlinguistic representations should be used. –Creating graphic representations –Making physical models –Generating mental pictures –Drawing pictures and pictographs –Engaging in kinesthetic activities Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane Pollock

51. Vocabulary from Content Standards See example - white
