The act of blogging allows for: students to make their thinking visible students and teachers to give one another feedback students and teachers to keep a record of student progress with mathematics What follows is a definition of the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice and a description of how blogging can enhance and strengthen students’ use of these practices:   Teachers who use math journals can easily convert that process to a digital one through blogging.

"Dear Arizona Educator, In an effort to foster the successful transition to Arizona's Common Core Standards and the PARCC assessment, the Arizona Department of Education is providing the following information regarding the Spring 2013 and 2014 AIMS assessments and the changes that are necessary to effectively transition to the PARCC assessment. Changes to the Spring 2013 and 2014 AIMS Assessments Although the AIMS assessment will remain the same concerning the blueprints and format, the passages and items will have several changes as outlined below. The focus of the AIMS test will be to move closer to the expectations of the PARCC assessment. --------------------- Passages In order to prepare for the expected rigor of the PARCC passages, the AIMS passages will contain an increase in text complexity as well as higher Lexile levels. The language used will have sophisticated text, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Items Many of the AIMS items are written at the Concept level, allowing for multiple Performance Objectives within a Concept to be addressed in a single item. The item's complexity will be raised through selecting items at the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels of 2 and 3. Please note the attachment - Webb's Depth of Knowledge Levels (Table 1) and Hess' Cognitive Rigor Matrix (Table 2). To further support the transition from the AIMS assessment to the PARCC assessment, the test items have been aligned to the 2003 (Reading), 2004 (Writing), and 2008 (Mathematics) Standards as well as to Arizona's Common Core Standards for Mathematics and Language Arts. ----------------------- Transitioning to Arizona's Common Core Standards and the PARCC Assessment Since Arizona's Common Core Standards are the building blocks of the PARCC assessment, the following documents are provided to help make the transition a little smoother from the old standards/AIMS assessment to the new Common Core Standards/PARCC assessment.

Rigor is all about truly understanding the meaning behind the numbers, getting those facts down pat, and then applying all that knowledge to the real world. Conceptual understanding is aided with the use of manipulatives. Give students the hands-on, concrete experiences they need with numbers before making them use pape

School leaders and math teachers must therefore understand the instructional implications of CCSS in addition to the content implications. This is why I begin Math CCSS training with a discussion of six shifts in instruction associated with CCSS: Focus: fewer topics covered in greater depth Coherence: connect learning within and across grades Fluency: perform mathematics with speed and accuracy Understanding: use mathematics in complex situations Application: know when and how applying math can solve a problem Dual Intensity: achieve fluency and conceptual understanding/application

the push is now to implement next-generation learning goals that encourage higher-order thinking skills.
...

Cancel
A critical piece in this roadmap will be new assessments, which have the potential to give school leaders new and better tools to guide instruction, support teachers, and improve outcomes. Assessment decisions will have a big impact on principals, who know the difference between leading a school constrained by punitively used tests that fail to measure many of the most important learning goals, and a school that uses thoughtful assessments to measure what matters and inform instruction.
...

Cancel
Become part of a new accountability system that replaces the old test-and-punish philosophy with one that aims to assess, support, and improve. Tests should be used not to allocate sanctions, but to provide information, in conjunction with other indicators, to guide educational improvement.

some schools, districts, and states are developing more robust performance tasks and portfolios as part of multiple-measure systems of assessment.
...

Cancel
In addition to CCSS-aligned consortia exams, multiple measures could include: Classroom-administered performance tasks (e.g., research papers, science investigations, mathematical solutions, engineering designs, arts performances); Portfolios of writing samples, art works, or other learning products; Oral presentations and scored discussions; and Teacher rating of student note-taking skills, collaboration skills, persistence with challenging tasks, and other evidence of learning skills.

How can we engage students in assessments that measure higher order thinking and performance skills—and use these to transform practice? How can these assessments be used to help students become independent learners, and help teachers learn about how their students learn? How can teachers be enabled to collect evidence of student learning that captures the most important goals they are pursuing, and then to analyze and reflect on this evidence—individually and collectively— to continually improve their teaching? What is the range of measures we believe could capture the educational goals we care about in our school? How could we use these to illustrate and extend our progress and successes as a school?
