Now what?

• How would you use this?• What are you going to do with the

results?• What if they still are having difficulty

with one of the quadratic forms? (For example, going the wrong way with the h, k, r1, or r2.)

Suppose you don’t have a Navigator system, how could you collect the same information?

Reflect Back on the WeekMonday - focused on the 5 Nonnegotiables : Jigsaw of the

Minute by Minute Article, review of student work of the Pentagon Problem

Tuesday – focused on tools to collect evidence of student learning: looked at Participation Quiz video, developed learning goals, checkpoints, and an exit task for a lesson

Wednesday - focused on tools to collect evidence of student learning: continued to develop learning goals, checkpoints, and an exit task for a lesson, completed sentence strip after observing a TIMSS video, created an intervention activity

Thursday – focused on using technology to check for student understanding and inform instruction: used Navigator and TI-Nspire calculators

Journal Reflection

Consider your own classroompractice and the activities we did thisweek. How might you improve yourcurrent practices to make yourformative assessment more effective?
