1. How might you make a convincing argument that all students should have equal access and opportunity to algebra or its integrated counterpart in grade 8 and advanced placement courses in high school?
Reflect upon the following curriculum questions:
· In what ways is the mathematics curriculum limiting or detrimental?
· In what ways is the mathematics curriculum beneficial?
· Does the classroom teacher make his/her own mathematics curriculum and if so how is it evaluated in terms of student achievement?
· Have you and/or your colleagues been involved in developing the curriculum or do you rely on the textbooks?
Reflect upon the following pedagogy questions:
· What might you look for in order to identify the philosophical framework of a practitioner's pedagogy?
· How can pedagogical strategies reflect or promote anti-bias, equity, or social justice?
· What do you need to know in order to identify and claim your own pedagogy?

Presentation given by Mark Parkinson, Director, Shri Ram Schools on July 15,2011 at WORLD EDUCATION SUMMIT (www.worldeducationsummit.net) in the School Education Track: FROM CONVENTIONAL ASSESSMENT PRACTICES TO CONTINUOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION (CCE): A REVIEW OF BEST PRACTICES
For the past few years, reading has taken center stage in PD—specifically because this is an area that has been deemed as being one that most of our students struggle with as evidenced by ISAT performance. For the past couple of years, teachers have been exposed to the concept of Reading Across the Curriculum. At first, Haugan received PD from an outside consultant and then last year, most of our PD was delivered on-site by our Master Teachers. This year, we are going full force with Reading Across the Curriculum and marrying it to the Differentiation concept—Haugan personnel will be the driving force behind the initiative; in terms of providing all PD ourselves. So far, we have delivered 4 PowerPoint presentations that have some type of literacy/differentiation element embedded into it: Ex: 1. Formative Assessment; 2. Word Maps to Build Comprehension; 3. Summarizing; and 4. Differentiation.
Formative Assessment ppt: The idea behind this PD session was to expose teachers to techniques that they can implement in any one of the different content-areas that would allow them to frequently monitor students’ understanding. Research has shown that it is through these constant ‘checks for understanding’ that teachers are better able to adjust their instruction to maximize learning. Through formative assessment, teachers are able to cater to students’ individual needs; this is a huge concept behind differentiation.
Tools To Assess The Quality Of The Curriculumdbrady3702
How can we assess the quality of the documented curriculum, the enacted curriculum, the assessed curriculum, and the impact of the curriculum on students? From data analysis, to looking at student work, to power standards, to calibration, to professional learning communities, these tools help us to assess the curriculum.
This module will help you to —
• understand the genesis and importance of School Based Assessment,
• familiarize with learner-centred approaches for assessment,
• facilitate integration of teaching learning process with assessment procedures,
• develop context-based exemplars in the relevant subject areas for the purpose of assessment.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
1. Abstract While many studies have investigated the use of writing in a K-12 mathematics classroom, this study explored the use of writing prompts at the college level. In an ongoing effort to help students engage with the material they are learning and better understand the concepts they are using in mathematics, this project focused on the use of writing assignments in an introductory algebra course at a state university. The students engaged in a write/reflect/revise cycle in which they would respond in writing to a prompt, discuss their response with their peers and then revise their writings based on the input received by peers. Ten participated in three iterations of the write/reflect/revise cycle; each cycle was preceded by a pre-quiz and followed by a post-quiz. Pre- and post-quiz scores were then compared, along with scores from their writings, to see if there was improvement. The study did find an improvement in scores after each cycle.

7. Focus Question How does engaging in the writing/reflection/revision cycle enhance student understanding of selected topics in Beginning Algebra for College Students?
8. Intervention & Research Plan Write/Reflect/Revise Traditionally difficult topics Time Concern Qualitative vs Quantitative
9. What Did I Actually Do? Instructional intervention
10. Trial Run What is a “real-world” use for common denominators? Give an example. Cooking Medications Construction Shoes
13. Writing Prompt Give a real life example of a negative number minus a positive number. Give a real life example of subtracting a negative number. We had - $26 in the bank on Thursday and on Friday we got paid $300. So -$26 + $300 = $274 I owe $300 to a credit card company and they charged my account $200 so I called them up and they said they would reverse the charges- $300 - $200 = - $100
16. Writing Prompt Explain how to solve the equation 4x + 5 = 2x + 15. What properties are being used to solve the equation? Additive inverseto get rid of the 2x on the right side and the 5 on the left side. Then you would divide the numbers by 2 which is your 2x. Multiplicative inverse 2/2 = 1 or x
19. Writing Prompt Find 3 solutions to the equation x + y = 2. Clearly show your steps. Graph the solutions. Did you choose x-values or y-values? How did you choose those values? Does it matter what numbers you choose? It really matters what numbers you choose because they must equal to the answer given. I actually chose both values to make sure that they did equal to the answer of 2. I normally start with the x-value but it does not matter one way or the other. The #’s you choose also does not matter but make it simple for easy figuring.
25. Was the Intervention Helpful? Yes…and No… Scores improved WHY? It made me think about each step when solving the problems. It helped me to understand this better. It reviewed some of the skills I had a little difficulty on. I found it to be not very helpful, needed to be more extensive. My Thoughts My Students’ Thoughts
