Yearly Goal at Rusch Completed

Goal: Differentiate math instruction to extend the development assessment approach to 6^th grade. Create remediation lessons and finish with quick assessments. Provide some algebra enrichment and readiness skills to the higher end (230+).


Steps for Achieving Goal:

• I set up my grade book based on standards achievement during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the school year. Students also completed self-assessments and self-tracked achievement of standards during units 7 and 8. 
• I created remediation lessons for students who had difficulty on the quick assessments. Lessons were taught by a parent volunteer, peer tutors or me.
• Algebra enrichment and readiness skill sessions were held every Tuesday and Thursday after school from 3:05-3:50 until 4/22/11.
• YouTube lessons and computer games were added to my class website.
• I completed two action research studies to study the effects of differentiation in mathematics and wrote a literature review.
