Informal daily assessments will be drive our lesson planing slowly up the information some days when students are struggling and increasing the pace other depending on the needs of the students. Daily bell ringers, teacher observation and student presentations will increase the data needed to see if the students are grasping the bigger concepts and make inferences in the curriculum. Instruction will be student driven for information attained from informal assessments.
Procedures
MAPS test will be administered three times a year in a formal setting with other students of that age. MAP tests are computer based and the computer individualizes each test to that students either increasing the level of difficulty or lowering the level of difficulty …show more content…
A survey of eight math and science teachers were asked questions including use of technology, importance of homework for new and old concepts. what the most important item to know how to do with graphs, teaching strategies, what students should know when they come into the high school, if they have ever co-taught and the benefits or disadvantages of that experience, and if there is a need for remediation.
The second data collection instrument was the MAP test scores. These scores are nationally normed and compare individual students against others who are the same age and grade. Because these scores are normed with a high number of students, if there are gaps in their learning the results should show a gap between the average and the low scores.
Daily bell ringers will be examined by looking at common mistakes made by the students or if their is a common theme in the responses for the researcher to use as a tool to guide her instruction.
The pre- and post tests will be graded three times, once in the right and wrong answer, then again looking for common errors and finally looking at the growth for each individual
