Changes in student learning behavior:
Students
will:
Demonstrate
an understanding of the properties and attributes of polygons and angles by sorting,
classifying, drawing and measuring.
Demonstrate
a conceptual understanding of congruency and reasoning in geometric context.
Demonstrate
an understanding of analog, digital and elapsed time.
Use
a variety of measuring tools to demonstrate a conceptual understanding of perimeter, area
and capacity.
|
Changing Instruction: Teachers
will:
Create
and implement lessons plans that are aligned
to the GLE’s and district research based curriculum.
Model,
teach, and provide practice for students to analyze, interpret, and construct a response
to geometry and measurement tasks.
Instruct
students on self-monitoring techniques to assess and improve their work.
Differentiate
instruction and make accommodations based on students needs.
Provide
“at risk” students with additional tutoring by a variety of school personnel |
Monitoring Progress with timelines and adjustments:
At
the end of each trimester:
The
SIT, Principal, and teachers will:
Review
student work and reflect on progress, adjusting instruction as necessary.
Use
findings from NECAP testing, classroom assessments, student work and teacher observations
to monitor progress.
At
Mid-Trimester:
Monitor
the progress of “at risk” students towards benchmarks from Progress Monitoring
Sheets
Use
Progress Monitoring Sheets and intervention strategies to increase the number of students
meeting proficiency by 3% on the geometry and
measurement GLE’s
|
Collaboration and Support:
During
Faculty Meetings, Professional Days, and Grade Level Meetings, teachers will:
Review
student work to adjust instructional practices and strategies to ensure student progress.
Collaborate
to share research-based practices and strategies that support the neediest of students.
Principal
will meet with every grade level each trimester to review student work focused on math
action steps to measure student progress towards result statement |
Resources, School and District:
Use
Federal, State and Local funds as appropriate to:
Provide
professional development in areas of geometry and measurement.
Provide
release time for teachers to examine student work, review
progress and develop common tasks to increase rigor and consistency and to
improve instructional practices
EMT
district training for Developing Math Ideas
|
Evaluation of Success/Reporting to Families and
Community:
The
SIT, Principal, and teachers will analyze student success based on findings from:
An
increase of 3% in the number of students meeting or exceeding proficiency on the Math
NECAP.
A
3% increase of students reaching the benchmarks on Progress Monitoring Sheets
