1. Math Websites, Resources, and Conversations Mega Conference July 19, 2012 Tod Beers

2. How will this session be conducted? 1)I will briefly identify a cluster of websites and resources 2)You will rank the websites based on personal interest – High (H), Medium (M), and Low (L) High – spend more time on this site Medium – quickly breeze through the web site Low – move on 3)We will view the websites and resources according to the level of interest across the whole group 4)Small group discussion will follow as to how the information and resources from these websites can be used in your current work We will follow this routine until our time is used up.

3. Plan 2020 Learners Indicators/Targets College- and Career-Ready Indicator: By 2016, increase the percentage of students who are college- and career- ready as measured by the High School Graduate College and Career Readiness Index. Baseline: 18% 1-year target: 20% 4-year target: 26% 8-year target: 40% http://www.aplusala.org/news/?newsID=122

6. Take Time Now to Rank These Websites 1)Rank each website according to personal interest – High (H), Medium (M), and Low (L) How much interest do you have in taking a closer look at these websites? High – spend more time on this Medium – quickly breeze through the site Low – move on 2) Let us view the websites and resources according to your interest level 3)Small group discussion of how the information and resources from these websites can be used in your current work Let peer conversation help you clarify your thinking, and receive great ideas from a colleague on how to implement the CCRS.

19. Alabama Insight Tool – Equipping Teachers To Determine Student Mastery Evidence of Student AttainmentStudent SkillsStudent Understanding “Alabama Insight” is a web-based tool that allows for a search of the College and Career Standards for descriptions that aid teachers in determining student mastery. Connected to each standard are descriptions of evidence of student attainment, and necessary student knowledge, skill, understanding and teacher vocabulary. Example: Grade 3, Standard 3 http://alex.state.al.us/browseMath.php
