The following was submitted as a result of the
principals request of all staff. CTE
Instructors should KEEP and SAVE an electronic
file as well as a paper file documenting NCLB
related activities

• To Deb Henton, Principal
• From Sharon Stone, FACS Teacher
• Date January 6, 2005
• RE What has been done in my classroom to
  improve the reading skills of my students?
• Before students read either aloud or
  independently the class reviews new terms and
  discusses what they already know about the topic.
  The Family and Consumer Science Classes I teach
  are mostly factual like the Basic Standards Tests
  reading excerpts so this tried and true
  strategy should be helpful to students who have
  not passes the BST.
• Also we used one of the vocabulary strategies
  that were explained in the fall in-service. I
  had the student write the word in the center of a
  3x5 card or in their journal, then the
  definition, the opposite of the word and then
  draw a picture that would help them remember the
  word.
• I have always had my students write an
  autobiography. One of the questions given in the
  autobiography outline is how many books do you
  read a year? What magazine or newspapers do you
  read? Not only does this activity help me learn
  about my students it also is a pretty good snap
  shot of their reading and writing skills.

Strategies to address numeracy

• Mathematics Bellringers
• Measurement and Ratios Lessons
• Cooking Labs
• Pre/Post Testing

11
Mathematic BellringerEXAMPLE

• How much protein do you need? Protein builds
  muscles. Figure out how much protein you need
  according to your weight. You need which is ___
  grams of protein for 80 of your weight in
  kilograms.

12
My method of solving the problem

• Your weight in pounds divided 2.2 your weight in
  kilograms
• Your weight in kilograms X 80 number of grams
  of protein needed a day.
• Be aware protein in the following
• 1 C Cereal with ½ C Milk 10 grams of Protein
• Ham and Cheese Sandwich16 grams of Protein
• 3 OZ. Chicken 27 grams of Protein
• 1 glass of Milk 8 grams of Protein

13
Colleagues Method of Teaching

• X your weight in pounds
• Y your weight in kilograms
• Y (X/22)
• Y X 0.8grams of protein you need each day

14
Measurement and Ratios

• Pre-Post Test
• Name _______________________
• There are 16 tablespoons in a cup, how many
  tablespoons are in ¼ Cup ?
• 6
• 4
• 5
• 8
• There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon, how
  many teaspoons are in 1 ½ tablespoons?
• 5 ½
• 6
• 4 ½
• 3 ½
• What amount is equal to 1/3 Cup?
• 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon
• 6 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons
• 5 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon
• 4 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon
• What amount is equal to 3 cups?

• What amount is 50 of a cup?
• 10 tablespoons
• 16 tablespoons
• 8 tablespoons
• 20 teaspoons
• What amount is equal to 75 of a cup?
• ½ cup
• ¼ cup
• ¾ cup
• 1/3 cup
• How many ounces are in two and one-half pounds?
• How many ounces are in 5/8 of a cup?
• 10. At what temperature Fahrenheit does water
  boil?

15
Measurement and Ratios

• Taught first with Math Coach observing
• Next period the Math Coach taught the lesson
• Following period, I taught and the Math Coach
  observed again

16
Math Integration Effects

• Significant increase in math scores for all
  students
• (Comparing post test scores to pre test scores)

17
Sub-Group Analyses

• ELL students had significantly greater gains than
  non-ELL students

18
Other Results

• A negative, but not significant correlation
  between GPA and gain scores
• A negative, but not significant correlation
  between class rank and gain scores.
• A positive, but not significant correlation
  between math class grades and gain scores.

19
