OSPI

The process of studying student work is a meaningful and challenging way to be data-driven, to reflect critically on our instructional practices, and to identify the research we might study to help us think more deeply and carefully about the challenges our students provide us. Rich, complex work samples show us how students are thinking, the fullness of their factual knowledge, the connections they are making. Talking about them together in an accountable way helps us to learn how to adjust instruction to meet the needs of our students.

Students’ performances are across the continuum

Traditionally Teachers Choose One of Three Options

• Go back and re-teach the topic with the entire class.

• Identify the students needing remediation and find some time/opportunity to re-teach the topic while the rest of the class continues on.

• Feeling the pressure of the over packed curriculum the teacher ventures on to the next topic.

The MAC/MARS Math Performance Assessments

• The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) is an NSF funded collaboration between U.C. Berkeley, Michigan State and the Shell Centre in Nottingham England.

• The Assessments target grades 2- Geometry and are aligned with the State and NCTM National Math Standards.

Dimensions of Balance

• Mathematical Content• Process Dimension: Modeling and Formulating,

Transforming and Manipulating, Inferring and Drawing conclusions, Checking and Evaluating, Reporting

• Task Type: Non-routine, design, plan, evaluate and make a recommendation, review and critique, representation of information, technical exercise, definition of concepts

• Openness• Reasoning Length

Link Assessment and Learning “Assessment should be an

integral part of teaching. It is the mechanism whereby teachers can learn how students think about mathematics as well as what students are able to accomplish.”

Cycle of Formative Assessment to Inform and Improve Learning

Leads to improved teaching and learning in the classroom

Administer quality assessment tasks

Collectively score and analyze student work

Document student thinking to inform instruction.

Drives the professional development experiences of the teachers.

Re-engagement Happens “Live”

• The heart of the process is in the discussion, controversy, and convincing of the big mathematical ideas.

• This is where students have the opportunity to clarify their own thinking, confront their misconceptions to see the errors in logic, use mathematical vocabulary for a purpose, and make generalizations and connections.

Re-engagement

• Has all students re-work task from different perspectives.

• Confronts misconceptions, so that they can be dealt with and let go.

• Gives some students strategies for solving problem

• Helps other students solidify and clarify their ideas.

SampleMARS Tasks

Access Core Ramp

Prepare to Design a Re-engagement Lesson

• Do the task and consider the math• Consider how the students might approach the

math, where and how would the be successful, what challenges or misconception may arise?

• Look through the student work. Categorize solution strategies, approaches and where students struggled. What is the story of the task?

• Use the Math Toolkit to compare your findings with history of the tasks.

Design a Re-engagement Lesson

• What are the foundational concepts that need to be solidified?

• What examples of student work or errors could be presented?

• What approaches or strategies are unique or present a reasoning dilemma? What student work might be shared?

• What conceptual ideas do you want students to learn or connect? What student work would engage the students and invite high cognition.

Formative Assessment is:

Students and teachersUsing evidence of learningTo adapt teaching and learningTo meet immediate learning needsMinute-to-Minute and day to day

Dylan Wiliams, University of London

Effective Formative Assessment Strategies

• Clarifying learning intentions and sharing criteria for success

• Engineering effective classroom discussions.• Providing feedback that moves learners

forward.• Activating students as the owners of their

own learning.• Activating students as instructional resources

for one another.

Dylan Wiliams, University of London

Design of the Performance Assessments

• Aligned with the NCTM Standards • Five tasks: touching each of the major

strands or Core Ideas for that grade level• Geometry, Algebraic Thinking, Number

and Operations, Data and Statistics, and one other depending on the grade level

• Designed to hit areas of instructional emphasis rather than the edges

• Look at different dimensions of learning key to understanding mathematics
