Relationships, Rigor, Relevance Tools to create meaningful change TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com Math Curriculum and Instruction Vision
6
Rigor/Relevance/Relationships Relevance makes RIGOR possible, but only when trusting and respectful relationships among students, teachers, and staff are embedded in instruction. Relationships nurture both rigor and relevance. TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com

Building Relationships Secondary structures for building inclusion TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com
8
Defining Relationships The goal is to build a culture of trust and respect between ALL members of the classroom community. The goal is not necessarily to build friendships orperson-to-person relationships. Relationship building requires work and ongoing planning (like a lifelong friendship). GOAL – create a culture that values similarities and differences and accepts ALL responses as productive TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com

Common Ground Strategies outside of content: Ball Toss with Names Share one thing about… What you did this summer Would you rather? Etc.
10
During Instruction Call on students within a group to share based on: Person with… Tallest/shortest person… Etc.. Identify students to participate: Using birthdates Etc..
11
Respect and Appreciation for Diversity Most commonly done using topics in curriculum and during instruction. Examples may include: Persuasive writing – have students select a topic based on beliefs and write. Asking students if they agree or disagree with an answer or response Etc…

RIGOR IS… Work that requires students to work at high levels of Blooms Taxonomy combined with application to the real world. TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com MEANINGFUL SYNTHESIS EVALUATION www.leadered.com

Rigor/Relevance Framework The Rigor/Relevance framework is a fresh approach to looking at curriculum standards and assessment. It is based on traditional elements of education yet encourages movement to application of knowledge instead of maintaining an exclusive focus on acquisition of knowledge. It is a Tool for educators to: Assess Create Implement TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com

1 2 3 4 5 6 12345 A B D C Rigor/Relevance Framework Express probabilities as fractions, percents, or decimals. Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides. Calculate volume of simple three- dimensional shapes. Given the coordinates of a quadrilateral, plot the quadrilateral on a grid. Analyze the graphs of the perimeters and areas of squares having different-length sides. Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter. Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function. Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes. Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year. Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically. Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event. Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale. Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper. Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, and angles. Determine the median and mode of real data displayed in a histogram Organize and display collected data, using appropriate tables, charts, or graphs. TJ Mears - ICLE - leadered.com

Oceanography Tonga Trench Tonga Trench The Tonga Trench in the Pacific Ocean is a Potential Source for a Tsunami, a large ocean wave generated by an undersea earthquake. The formula for a Tsunamis speed s in meters per second is, where d is the depth of the ocean in meters. Find the depth of the Tonga Trench if a Tsunamis speed is 322 meters per second.

Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Reflect – 1. What is something you are pleased about or find useful. 2. What is something you are concerned about or wish was available.
52
Summary Without Relationships, Rigor and Relevance can not happen (as easily). Without Rigor we can not develop 21 st Century learners. Without Relevance we can not engage our student to be active learners. 4 th R – Reflection – Allow our students the opportunity to reflect on how and what they have learned either written or verbal.

Motivation is a key aspect of achievement that we often ignore in math; it's the missing link," Schorr says. "We need to provide kids with conceptually challenging math problems in an emotionally safe environment, and the teacher plays a critical role in that. Kids can view frustration as an opportunity for success instead of an indication of failure, but that won't happen without teachers letting the students experience productive struggles." Edutopia Magazine 10/09

Best Wishes for a Wonderful New School Year. Your PD team is excited about your growth as teachers and helping you develop your students growth too.
