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-

4. Agenda Level 2 Formative Assessment. The student’s roll in the Formative Assessment cycle Your Data. Studies we are running

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. The Student’s Roll Popham talks a lot about students changing their learning tactics. What do you think your students learning tactics are?

7. Round 2 Your Data! Make a copy of the power point on Google doc. Name it with your name. Reflect on your data. Document your Formative Assessment Cycle on the Template I am happy to read and reflect on these for you, just e-mail them or share the google doc or link it to the WIKI Consider these things:

8. Popham Level 1 Step 1: Identify adjustment occasion Step 2: Select assessments Step 3: Establish adjustment triggers Step 4: Make instructional adjustment

9. Popham Level 2 Involving your students in the data: Step 1: Consider adjustment occasions Step 2: Consider assessments Step 3: Consider adjustment triggers Step 4: Consider and adjust learning tactics

10. Objectives The parts of a learning objective are:  1. Conditions (a statement that describes the conditions under which the behavior is to be performed)  2. Behavioral Verb (an action word that connotes an observable student behavior)  3. Criteria (a statement that specifies how well the student must perform the behavior). www.apprima.com

11. The Formative Assessment Cycle Optional Start: Assessment Objective(s): The Lesson: The Assessment: Analysis of the Assessment Critique of Lesson Objective(s) 2 new (or same) Lesson 2 in response to Assessment 1 Assessment 2 Analysis of the Assessment …

12. Round 2 Your Data! As you either reflect or plan keep in mind:  Clarity of the Objective  The connection between objectives and Assessment.  Triggers for you and your students to make adjustments.  How you are going to include the student in the cycle.

13. November Comments Last meeting we ran out of time for this activity. I want to try again. I value your input:  that worked  you would change  you learned about on November 2 and are excited to implement.  and or just ask a question. Go to Turing’s Class and do Problem Set #11

14. ASSISTment Issues Grading Essays

15. IQP Next meeting I am inviting our IQP teams to explain their studies and then we would love any of you to be involved. Mostly it is assigning mastery learning. The item reports may be a bit messed up. They could even come in May to share their results with your kids.

16. ASSISTment/WPI Opportunities IQP Studies Heads up. Sonja Kovalevsky Math for Girls @WPI Who would like to do Problem Set:  6575 - WPI Open Response

17. Sorting through Student Work Do the Math Problem Set 10  “MSA - Exit Card - Linear or Not!” Sort the responses into 3 piles with your group. Label the 3 piles.

18. I promised you a better Photo PIMSE 2009- 2010
