| Become familiar with Performance Expectations (PEs) and Mathematics grade level Blue Prints for guiding instructional planning for math instruction | Alignment of state PEs with curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices
Identify PEs missing in Investigations - design and teach supplemental lessons Inservice on the Math Blue Print (what’s available, access, etc.) | Classroom & Spec. Ed. Teachers
LAP Math Teacher Math Cadre Classroom Teachers Math Facilitator Technology Teacher (Debbie Wrobel) Librarian (Joan Litkow) Dick Sander/ Jana Wilson | New Performance Expectations for classroom teachers
Blueprints for classroom teachers Organizational tools for classroom teachers | $1,000 for release time | Collaborating with other teachers for grade level and vertical instructional alignment
Identify instructional gaps between PEs and district math curriculum program Teachers in grades K-5 look at PE’s, Item Specs, and Investigation curriculum to guide instructional planning for math instruction | Students are meeting Performance Expectations as evidenced by classroom performance and assessments |
| Implement Investigations 2 Math, 10 Minute Math,
Calendar activities, math warm-ups, and supplemental lessons | Use district calendar and pacing guide
Use district and OSPI web sites Develop supplemental lessons and materials for classroom instruction | Classroom Teachers
Technology Teacher Math Cadre Leader Teachers District Math Facilitator | Curriculum materials:
· Math for Today · Minute Math · Math Whizz · Supplemental lessons and materials | $2,400 for release time coordination, alignment, developing supplemental lessons | Classroom teachers teach math curriculum with fidelity, implement supplemental lessons as appropriate, collaborate in grade level and professional learning
team (PLT) meetings to improve teaching and learning opportunities for students. LAP teacher pre-teaches concepts from Investigations units. | Students are meeting Performance Expectations as evidenced by the embedded lesson assessments and the end of unit assessments |
| Commitment to implementing 10 minute math in grades 3-5 and
Classroom routines in grades K-2 | Grade levels choose a time to intentionally teach 10 minute math everyday outside of the regular math instruction time.
**(10 minute math is tied into 1/3 of the PEs and WASL/MSP assessment) | Classroom teachers | Investigations curriculum | Classroom teachers have a 10-15 minute block in daily schedule to teach classroom routines/10 minute math | Students are communicating mathematical skills orally and/or written
Students are strengthening computational fluency skills as evidenced by on going and end of unit assessments |
| Develop math vocabulary
Integrate GLAD strategies to make learning visual Pay attention to the different languages of math: · Natural · Symbolic · Academic | Integrate math vocabulary with math instruction
· Picture cards for vocabulary · Picture file cards · Chants Visual and verbal emphasis · Cognitive Content Dictionary & Picture Dictionary · Visual (pictures) Professional Development | Classroom & Spec. Ed. Teachers
Math Cadre LAP Math Teacher ELL Coach ELL Coach | Develop a grade level resource notebook that can be used by teachers, as needed
List of math vocabulary classroom teachers for the OSPI website | Classroom teachers use vocabulary while teaching and expect students to use vocabulary in written and oral communication
Classroom teachers use GLAD strategies Classroom teachers use Glad strategies | Students use math vocabulary in written and oral communication
Students incorporate math vocabulary in other subject areas |
| Develop computational fluency
| Plan instructional and school wide strategies for increasing computational fluency for all grades
Professional development What are the disconnects in computational fluency? | Classroom & Spec. Ed. Teachers
LAP Math Teacher Math Cadre Jana Wilson Principal Math LAP Teacher Jana Wilson, Principal Teacher Reps. | State Computational Fluency Standards Math Manipulatives | Building Budget (ESD #189 Workshop) | Collaborative work at:
Staff presentations Cadre meetings Staff meetings Grade level and vertical grade level sharing and planning Grade levels work with partner class and plan to include “Math Buddies” in conjunction with “Reading Buddies” program Teachers incorporate ideas shared at staff meeting in their classrooms | Students strengthen computations fluency skills as evidenced in classroom activities and assessments |
| Use On-going formative and summative assessment to inform instruction and monitor student progress
| Administer pre and post tests
Analyze assessment data | Classroom & Spec. Ed. Teachers
LAP Teacher Math Cadre Professional Learning Team Jana Wilson Principal | A variety of assessments:
Teacher developed, Success Tracker, Boston, Unit Tests, WASL/MSP, Investigations | Frequent and on-going use of formative and summative assessment to influence instructional planning and instruction; and to monitor student progress. | Students are meeting Performance Expectations as evidenced by classroom performance and assessments |
| Implement appropriate interventions as determined by assessment results and student performance
Extended Learning | Regrouping students for additional teaching and learning opportunity
Cadre and grade level teams (PLT) examine assessment data, student work, review researched practices and plan intervention strategies. LAP small group/pull out classes Early Bird Math Whizz using M.W. licenses, and an intervention Plan extended day learning opportunities for students in March, April and May, 2010 | Classroom & Spec. Ed. Teachers
Grade Level and PLT teams LAP Math Teacher Jana Wilson Staff Technology Teacher Principal LAP teacher LAP teacher Principal LAP Staff Teachers Principal | Investigations Materials Supplemental Materials Math Whizz Investigations, Supplemental Materials, and Math Whizz 25 Math Whizz licenses Snacks Transportation Teacher Timesheets | I-728 Funds LAP and Building Budget funds | Test Talks with Students to review material that needs re-teaching.
Regrouping students for additional teaching and learning opportunity Math Whizz used frequently with identified students LAP teacher pulls out small groups of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to pre-teach Investigations curriculum and to re-teach material not mastered in the classroom. Teachers & LAP teacher will identify 25 students, with emphasis on Special Education and Hispanic students to participate in this morning program at school LAP teacher plans math curriculum | Students are better meeting performance expectations as evidenced by classroom performance and assessments
Students are meeting performance expectations as evidenced by successful completion of targeted Math Whizz animations Students with Math Whizz home accounts will increase Grade Level equivalency LAP students are better meeting performance expectations as evidenced by classroom performance and assessments Students will spend 15 minutes each school day on Math Whizz in the library to increase their math computation Extended Day students will show an improvement on math post tests |
| Parent Involvement
| Plan for family night learning opportunities
January 14 LAP Family Night June 3rd LAP Family Night | LAP staff
Classroom teachers Principal | Math games to make and take home
Summer packets to complete at home during the summer break | LAP funds | Classroom teachers and LAP teacher will give parents tools they can use at home and over the summer to help their LAP math students | LAP students and their parents will play math games at home to strengthen computational fluency skills, therefore better meeting performance expectations as evidenced by classroom performance and assessments
LAP students will complete summer packets at home LAP students will be better prepared for the 2010-11 school year as evidenced by performance on beginning of the year Success Tracker assessments. |
| Summer Math Academy | Coordinate with other south end schools to plan a summer math program for 16 students in grades 3, 4, and 5. | Principal
Other South End Principals LAP Teacher Molly Ringo | Math Manipulatives
Snacks 3 Teachers 3 Para educators | $1,000 building budget
$4,000 for Math Project | Identified teachers will plan and present a summer math program. Instruction will be based on End of the Year assessment for students using Success Net.
| Identified students will participate in a 6-week learning program in July and the first 2 weeks of August (2 times a week). Program will be tuition based of $100. |
