Developing Capacity
Developing Leadership Capacity for the Math TEKS
This workshop is designed to give math teams, coaches and mentors the tools they need to support their colleagues in implementing standards-based assessment and instruction to support the TEKS for Mathematical Processes and Mathematical Content effectively in their schools.
Broad Agenda
- Learn what to look for in a standards-based mathematics classroom
- Review Exemplars assessment rubric
- Assess student work to build reliability and validity with Exemplars assessment rubric
- Assess student work at the individual/class/campus/district level to determine:
- What we know our students know;
- How well our students are performing;
- Why our students are performing this way;
- What our students need to relearn, practice;
- What we learn about our teaching;
- What our next steps are for these students.
- Discuss possible actions for supporting peers
- Use samples of student work to share strategies (questioning, connections, representation, mathematical language, etc.) necessary to raise students to the Practitioner level (meeting the standard) and beyond
- Begin/Develop an assessment system that supports the Math TEKS
- Select performance tasks for working portfolios
- Select performance tasks for assessment portfolios
- Select grade-level/school/district anchor papers
- Discuss calibration/scoring sessions
