Empowering Teacher Agency: How Data-Driven PD Models are Improving K-5 Math A...DreamBox Learning
Just as teachers struggle to find time and resources that support differentiation and personalization for every student in math class, administrators struggle to provide differentiated professional learning options for teachers that are relevant to their classroom and easily accessible.
To improve elementary student achievement in math, district administrators must explore innovative approaches to professional development that improve teachers’ understanding of mathematics concepts. In this webinar, Dr. Tim Hudson, VP of Learning at DreamBox Learning shared how to:
Adopt a new model of online professional learning that empowers teachers to use real-time student data to access “just in time” professional learning resources that are specific to their students and classrooms.
Implement best practices for driving teacher agency in PD, such as empowering teachers to use data to choose PD topics that address the real challenges in their classrooms.
Ensure equitable learning outcomes for all students in mathematics by also ensuring equitable professional learning outcomes for all mathematics teachers.
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.
ASSESSING THE EFFECT OF POLYA’S THEORY IN IMPROVING PROBLEM- SOLVING ABILITY ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The study focused on the assessment on effect of Polya’s theory in improving problem-solving
ability among senior high school students in San Marcelino District. The respondents of this study were the
Grade 11 Senior High School students a total of one hundred twenty from San Marcelino District. This
research study employed descriptive and quasi- experimental research design. Both designs used a quantitative
approach. Based on the summary of the investigations conducted, the intervention plan was developed to
improve the delivery system and enhance the problem-solving ability of the students. The respondents are on
their young adolescence and female. The respondents obtained a did not meet expectation descriptive rating
during pre – test and fairly satisfactory after using Polya’s theory. The respondents Agreed that Polya’s Theory
is effective improving problem solving ability in terms of understanding, planning, implanting and look back.
There is a significant difference on the perception of the students on the effectiveness of Polya’s theory in
improving problem solving when grouped according to age and sex profile in terms of understanding; and
according to age profile in terms of planning; implementing and look back. On the other hand, there is no
significant difference in terms of planning when grouped according to sex. The respondents Agreed that Polya’s
Theory is effective improving problem solving ability in terms of understanding, planning, implanting and look
back. There is a significant difference on the performance of the students before and after using Polya’s solving
analysis. The intervention plan was developed to improve the delivery system and enhance the problem-solving
ability of the students. Based on the summary of findings and conclusions, the researcher recommended
Intervention plan can be implemented to improve the delivery system and enhance the problem-solving ability
of the students. Further research study may be conducted in other districts or locale for verification of results.
The use of Polya theory may be encouraged during teaching and learning of mathematics in senior high school
since result shows that the students’ performance has improved. Mathematics teachers may be trained through
intensive workshop, seminars, and in-service training on the use of Polya Problem solving model. The proposed
intervention may be used in remedial classes to help the students familiarize with the theory. Intervention plan
can be implemented to improve the delivery system and enhance the problem-solving ability of the students.
Future researchers may use the current study as references.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. How Prodigy helped more
Texas students succeed
The challenge
Like educators in schools across the United States, math teachers
in the Texas school system are under pressure to help students
achieve positive scores on statewide assessments. While every school
wants to accelerate student math proficiency, administrators at
five Texas school districts faced unique obstacles. And although
each school had a different story, those administrators shared many
key questions when considering tools to reinforce their math
curricula. What solution could legitimately:
• Boost learning outcomes for students of all economic
backgrounds from 1st
to 8th
Grade?
• Succeed on a limited budget, with financial constraints
restricting most options?
• Engage students, with disengagement being the number one
complaint from teachers?
• Meet the needs of a diverse student population with a wide
range of proficiency levels?
The solution
The districts’ students now use Prodigy — a free, adaptive math
game loved by millions of students around the world. Fully
aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
curriculum, teachers assign in-game content to help students build
prerequisite skills and address problem areas. Because it runs
quickly and easily on all internet browsers and devices, teachers
are able to get started in less than five minutes.
Prodigy Game and five Texas
school districts increased pass
rates, lowered fail rates, and
accelerated math proficiency.
Improving results together!
3. How it works
To boost math results, teachers use Prodigy to:
• Pinpoint students’ problem areas and use adaptive learning to
customize content and reinforce instruction
• Engage entire classrooms and incorporate the math curriculum
within a fun video game environment that appeals to students
• Adjust questions to support in-class lessons and to review
material on a student-by-student basis
• Obtain live data and reports on questions answered, play time
in and out of class, and in-game plans and assignments
Across the five Texas school districts in question,1
we observed test
results in 171 schools — comparing those that used Prodigy with
those that did not.2
The results
• Schools enrolled in Prodigy both performed better and
enjoyed greater improvements on STAAR test results than
inactive schools.
• Schools enrolled in Prodigy saw an average increase
of 12.39 points on scores in the STAAR exams — double
the improvement seen in schools where no students
used the game.
• In schools enrolled in Prodigy, the percentage of students who
reached the Approaches benchmark was roughly 75% greater
than the improvement seen in inactive schools.
• In schools enrolled in Prodigy, the percentage of students who
reached the Masters benchmark was roughly 40% greater than
the improvement seen in inactive school.
Prodigy helped engage kids and
increase scores because it gave
them confidence.
Brenda Lynch
Math Instructional Specialist, New Caney ISD
Our kids are so engaged with
Prodigy. They love it. They
really want to participate and
really want to learn more. To
me, as a math coordinator,
that speaks volumes.

Note: This case study shares some observations where playing Prodigy seemed to
correlate with students’ math performance. While not a randomized trial, these
observations may suggest some patterns of interest.
A 2.67% improvement in the
percentage of students who reached
the Approaches benchmark — about
75% better than the 1.21% seen in
inactive schools.
