Planning Lessons Using KYVS Algebra I & Skill Set From Spotlight On Algebra

√ How will you bundle your Units for ’09-’10?

√ What are the structures you will put in place to support instructional strategies that motivate students to engage in learning Alg I?

[Refer to Strategies listed behind TAB 14]

√ For each structure, plan what formal feedback you will provide to move students into their ’zone of promixal development.’

[See “Linking Formative Assessment to Scaffolding,” pp 1]

Planning Instruction Using KYVS Alg I(cont.)

• What do you want the students to know and be able to do?

• How will you know that they know and can do?– Formative– Summative

• How will you use KYVS ALG I – what lesson and in what context? Will Spotlight on Algebra help? How?

• How will you access prior knowledge?• What is the new learning? How will students keep

track and/or organize this learning?• What form of student/teacher reflection will you

use?[See Research Standards behind TAB 2]

Expectations for Next Steps

• Work through all of ACT 9 for Wednesday, July 29, 2009.

• Continue with investigating KET Encyclomedia for segments that provide an access point for critical ALG I concepts.

• Organize information in your research binder.

• Dates to Remember: – On-Line PD Make-up is Tuesday, August 4, 2009.– Extension of Bb training is Thursday, August 13 in

Louisville, JCTC.
