Editor's Notes
- Hello. I am Michael Voth and I would like to welcome you to our group presentation.The instructional opportunity for this project is to use a learning management system to have college and high school students tutor middle school students in mathematics. The main goal is to use this opportunity to raise their STARR passing rates in mathematics through the use of real world problems to build connections for the students and by building positive relationships between the tutees and their tutors.
- The intended learners will be middle school students.
- The students all attend Decker Middle School in the Manor Independent School District. Decker Middle School is located in east Austin and is a Title I eligible school.
- The students come from diverse backgrounds and 87% are economically disadvantaged and are considered “At Risk”. Only slightly under 8 percent of the parents of the students have an education level equivalent of a college bachelor’s degree or higher. As you can see on the chart, Decker is a minority majority school by demographics.Many of these students are lacking in fundamental math skills.
- The students will receive the tutoring online through a learning management system.
- The students will receive the tutoring online through a learning management system.
- The learning management system will provide synchronous sessions between the tutors and tutees.The students will obtain access in the three computer labs at Decker. These will be used as the primary workstations for the students to work with their tutors.
- The Learning Management System to be used will be Blackboard Collaborate. Blackboard Collaborate was chosen because it allows for instantaneous communication between the student and the tutor along with the ability to share a writing board and the content of each other’s pages. It also has the ability to record the session for later viewing.
- The intended learners will be middle school students.
- Texas uses the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (or STAAR exam) to evaluate the student knowledge in all subject areas. The performance place will be the standardized STAAR exam.
- Thank you Chris.
- The instructional objectives are based on the STAAR Objectives. We want our learners to become skillful at solving problems they will see on this exam. However, for middle school, the objectives are divided up into 5 categories. They are <read slide>
- <read slide>We won’t have time to review each specific objective, but each grade level has progressively more advanced objectives within each category since math at this level is cumulative. The exam objectives for each category are based on the Texas State curriculum, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, also referred to as TEKS.
- Here is an example of a 7th grade TEK and the activity that aligns with this TEK. This TEK corresponds to Category 3, Geometry and Spatial Reasoning. Here, the student is supposed learn about how to locate and name points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs of integers. This skill is considered procedural. The STAAR exam will probably have a question that will require students to solve a word problem using this skill. For example, an exam question might ask students which points lie within a circle drawn on the coordinate plane, or incorporate an inequality.
- Currently, the passing score for the STARR exam is 70%. The Texas Education Agency has not set the criteria for unacceptable, acceptable or exemplary school ratings.As you can see, Decker Middle School students scored less than 50% on all of the math objectives. The objective of this program is to raise the scores up to and beyond 70% for each objective for all grade levels. The lowest scoring category for 6th and 7th grade appears to be category 3, geometry and spatial reasoning, but category 4, measurement, was the lowest for 8th grade. Most tutors will begin with these objectives first with this program, and move on to the next lowest objective for their student.Now I’m going to turn it over to Yahaira and she’s going to talk about Mastery Indicators.
- How we will know that our learners have mastered, or have failed to master the specific objectives of our instructional opportunity?
- Howdy, my name is Brook Park and I’m here to talk to ya’ll about the types of materials that will be included in the instructional package. There are 5 different types of materials employed in our instructional package and all of these materials are centered around the goal of the learners’ building the skills necessary to solve STAAR assessment problems.First, students will be given a curriculum focusing on skill building. Then formative assessments will be provided with frequent feedback so that students can see which skills are improving and which need further practice. Frequent spiraling will reinforce the content and summative assessments will be provided for each learner. All of this will be enveloped around real world situations and examples so students can have concrete examples to tie to their real lives. Towards this end, the use of Black Board Collaborate will allow the tutors and tutees to see each other’s content and also to use the internet as a tool to make those real world connections.
- The tutees will practice, practice, practice the skills necessary for their success on their own and with their tutors. One of the most important skills that they will practice is to know when to use the other skills to solve multi-step problems. The practice will be incorporated into each of the five materials. The tutors and tutees will follow a curriculum that requires mastery of each skill and objective before they move to the next.
- As Mike discussed earlier we chose Black Board Collaborate as our Learning Management System. The school currently has 3 computer labs with Dell desktop computers and this is where the tutees will receive the tutoring. The tutors will be on computers in similar computer labs at their respective campuses.
- The students will interact with their tutors by speech, text and by writing with their mice through the LMS.Through this interaction they will create a rapport with each other which will in turn facilitate learning. interactivity involved in our instructional package is direct tutor and tutee contact through the use of synchronous sessions using the LMS
- We started with the verbs from the TEKS, which describe the skills necessary to correctly answer the assessment questions. Then we took STAAR quality questions and broke them up into different skills. These skills were then practiced by the tutees with their tutors guidance until they could answer STAAR like questions. Thank you, now we will open the floor to any questions.
