Empowering Pre-Service & New Math Teachers to Use the Common Core Practice St...DreamBox Learning
How prepared are the K-12 teachers of tomorrow to inspire the next generation of young mathematicians? In this webinar for the edWeb.net Adaptive Math Learning community, attendees learned how essential it is for pre-service teachers to learn, develop, and model the Standards for Mathematical Practice to improve learning for their future students. Ben Braun, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, and Tim Hudson, Senior Director of Curriculum Design at DreamBox Learning, discussed ways to ensure that pre-service teachers start their careers understanding how mathematical proficiency requires more than simply content knowledge. Tim and Ben shared ideas for K-12 school leaders and mentor teachers who are responsible for new teacher induction, as well as, implications for college and university faculty teaching both math methods and content courses. They also discussed potential disconnects between pre-service content and methods courses and also eventual in-service expectations, while providing examples of math problems to engage pre-service and new teachers. View the webinar to better understand how to use the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Webinar: Assessing to Inform Teaching and Learning: A Guide for LeadersDreamBox Learning
School and district-wide use of classroom-based formative assessment is an essential part of informing teacher planning and instruction, as well as meaningful student achievement. In this webinar, Francis (Skip) Fennell, L. Stanley Bowlsbey Professor of Education and Graduate and Professional Studies Emeritus, McDaniel College, shares a framework for school and district-based leaders to develop elements of leadership while establishing a grade-level or school-based learning community focusing on everyday use of formative assessment.
Topics include:
• Assessment literacy and the use of particular tools to guide and monitor the use of the formative assessment techniques presented
• How ongoing, everyday use of the “Formative 5” intersects with summative assessment data and frame assessment decisions
• A leadership framework to guide successful implementation of the “Formative 5,” including coaching, navigating relationships, learning communities and adult learners
All school and district-based leaders, and K-12 educators are invited to watch this recorded webinar.

An app idea to facilitate feedback and improve student learningEldon Prince
This is an app idea I came up with to improve student learning.
What is the motivation for this app?
Students, who are the customers of education, have little input. Teachers, who heavily influence student learning, lack the data to improve teaching. Administrators, who can promote change, have little information.
The auris app is designed to facilitate feedback and serve as a powerful tool to empower students, enable teachers, and inform administrators.
What do you think?
http://www.celt.iastate.edu/elearning/?p=6088
Class Climate, the web-based course evaluation tool, helps measure an instructor’s achievements in teaching. To create well-designed, valid, reliable, and practical Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) questionnaires the instruments should:
>> include open- and close-ended questions
>> include intentional measures of both general instructor attributes (e.g. enthusiasm or effectiveness) and specific instructor behaviors (e.g. listening, providing feedback)
>> use consistent scales (e.g., five-points, same direction, 1 = low, 5 = high) and a no-opinion option
>> produce useful feedback to instructors that can inform their teaching
>> can be completed thoughtfully within 10 to 15 minutes
When developing course evaluations consider:
>> How will the student evaluation information be used?
>> Is it important to re-ask demographic information?
>> What types of reports do we need for our department? for the College? for Promotion and Tenure?
>> What types of questions will help achieve professional, departmental, and College goals?
>> How will the findings help us departmentally to recruit students, and promote Iowa State University’s mission?
Once these objectives have been defined the creation of the questionnaire will be easier to accomplish.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
9. Teacher-Level Value-Added Report: Aggregate Level Reporting Aggregate-level effectiveness of this teacher over time The table displays how that teacher performed compared to the state ’s 3-year average and the district’s 3-year average in that same grade level and subject area (most recent year first). In 2011, you will only see one year of data.
10. Teacher-Level Value-Added Report: State Distribution of Progress Levels The distribution of teacher effectiveness across the state in this teacher’s grade level and subject area
11. Teacher Value-Added Diagnostic Report: Disaggregate-Level Report This teacher ’s relative effectiveness with her three prior achievement subgroups
12. Teacher Report Help Screen MRM Teacher Report Language. Versus, a URM Teacher Report (science and other extended reporting) will say: “ The Teacher Progress Table The table at the top of the teacher report contains information on the effectiveness of the teacher compared to the State Average . Multi-Yr-Averages will be provided when sufficient data exist for this calculation. The teacher's Progress Estimate, expressed in scale score units , and Standard Error are provided for each year reported. The teacher's Index and Effectiveness Level complete the table.”
In 2004, Dr. William Sanders shared this data at the Governors ’ Education Symposium. These data reveal that classroom teachers account for more of the variation in student growth than actions taken at either the school or the district level. Given these results, teacher practice must be a focal point of school improvement if you are trying to produce higher student growth.

Professional development & resources will address the use of value-added for school improvement and implications of teacher-level reporting
Year —The year associated with the reporting. Estimate —An estimate of your effectiveness in terms of NCEs over the last three years. Included with your estimate is a three year average. In 2011 this teacher produced an aggregate gain of 3.1 NCEs above expected results. The average gain for this teacher over the last years is 1.2 NCEs above expected results. Standard Error —Standard Error is a calculation of the uncertainty associated with a teacher ’s value-added estimate. An estimate with a relatively small standard error is more precise than an estimate with a larger standard error. In 2011 the standard error associated with this teacher’s estimate is 2.0 and the standard error associated with the three-year average is 1.1 Index —To create of basis of comparison between teachers their gain estimates must be “standardized.” Dividing a teacher’s estimated gain by her associated standard error produces the index score. In 2011 this teacher had an index of 3.1/2.0 or 1.52. The index for this teacher’s three-year average is 1.2/1.1 or 1.12. Level —Based on the index score, each teacher is assigned to a particular performance level: Most Effective, Above Average, Average, Approaching Average, Least Effective. Think of Most Effective and Least Effective as 2 standard errors above, and 2 standard errors below. Good slide to reinforce not to jump to conclusions with 1 year of results. Reminder to look at trends over time and multiple measures.
The decision was made to lead with descriptors for levels as opposed to numerical labeling of teachers. This is important so that the wrong message is not conveyed in jumping to conclusions from interpretation on these reports, especially with only 1 year of data.
Prior Achievement Subgroups —All of a teacher ’s students for whom there are adequate data are placed in one of three prior achievement subgroups. The subgroups are made up of students who entered the grade level in the bottom third (Subgroup 1), the middle third (Subgroup 2) and the top third (Subgroup 3) of state achievement levels. Gain —The estimated gain associated with that subgroup of students. This teacher is producing gains that are 5.5 NCEs above expected results with her middle group and 2.3 NCEs above expected results with her highest achieving subgroup. Because there are fewer than 5 students in the lowest achieving subgroup there are not enough data to produce a meaningful estimate. Standard Error —The standard error associated with each gain estimate. For this teacher the standard error is 3.3 for subgroup 2 and 10.8 for subgroup 3. Because both of these subgroups have 11 students, the disparity in standard error is due to the greater variability in subgroup 3 ’s scores. Number of Students —The number of students included in each subgroup. This teacher has 4 students in subgroup1, 11 students in subgroup 2 and 11 students in subgroup 3. Percent of Students —The percent of the total class made up by each subgroup. This teacher has 15.4% of her students in subgroup 1, 42.3% of her students in subgroup 2 and 42.3% of her students in subgroup 3. Default is where these students are placed in tertiles compared to the state. You will have options to view this report based on student placement in tertiles at more granular levels (district, classroom?)
