REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL LAB APPALACHIA

• The Effects of Kentucky Virtual High Schools
  Hybrid Course in
• Algebra I on
• Teaching Practices, Classroom Quality,
• and Adolescent Learning
• On-Line Collaboration
• April 2008 Series
• Connections to Multiple
• Representations of Linear Equations
• Planning for Instruction

GOALS FOR ON-LINE COLLABORATION

• On-line Collaboration using Horizon Wimba
• Share teaching strategies/resources,
• Discuss planning instruction,
• Analyze student work,
• Share formative and summative assessment
  instruments/strategies that move learning
  forward,
• Provide instructional structures where feedback
  is focused on how students can improve related to
  learning goals,
• Others as defined by teachers and as need to
  address issues in the field including new
  learning that promotes student achievement.

NUTS BOLTS

• Technology Issues
• Control Panel Hints
• May On-Line Series Student Work??
• If you have created any tracking tools or
  projects please send them to us so that we can
  capture evidence and tell the story!

LESSON DESIGN USING KVS LESSONS

• Learning Cycle Activating Prior Knowledge, New
  Learning, Reflections
• Vocabulary Critical to communicating
  understanding
• Multiple Representations NAGS where Numbers
  within the table of values, Algebra within the
  equation, Graph of the algebraic equation,
  Sentence to describe the mathematics
• Learning Goals Verbalizing these goals with
  students and connecting to the Program of Studies

8
KVS LESSONS 16, 17, 12

• LESSON 12 Slopeintercept of a line
• LESSON 16 Solving systems using substitution
• LESSON 17 Solving systems using elimination

POINTS of DISCUSSION

• What questions are posed to students that engage
  them in mathematical discourse? Will they support
  students in constructing meaning? How and what
  can you anticipate regarding student responses?
• How do you transition from f2f to
  independent/virtual environment? How do you
  transition back?
• Is your tracking tool scaffolded open-ended?
  How are you pushing your students to think beyond
  recall?
• Is critical vocabulary developed? How?

NCTM- Equity means

• Community members respect one another and value
  others' contributions.
• Schools accept all experiences, beliefs, and ways
  of knowing mathematics.
• Students and teachers have access to all
  necessary resources for optimal learning and
  personal growth.
• High expectations, culturally relevant practices,
  attitudes that are free of bias, and unprejudiced
  beliefs expand and maximize the potential for
  learning.
• All students have access to and engage in
  challenging, rigorous, and meaningful
  mathematical experiences.
• Specifically for our students embed the
  functional notation, even though the NROC course
  does not.
• (NCTM Position Statement on Equity, 2008)
