Anyway, now that the conference is over and life is moving on, I should probably make some goals and stuff.
Goals and stuff:
Implement immediately:
- Self Assessment prior to summative tests. Make/find a form for students to fill out that will help them think about their learning - do they know the material or not? Them give them resources to study. Something like this:
- Get started on getting students used to talking about math by doing wodb.ca or "create debate" type of smaller tasks.
- Pick some tasks to try out that will help my students review what we've learned this year.
Eventually
- Work towards doing better tasks. Use them to teach. Follow framework from mathdiscussions.wordpress.com
- Figure out how to build fluency as well. One suggestion I heard was to pick a higher level task that requires students to do a skill multiple times to find a solution.
- Re-make assessments to hit higher DOK.
- Constantly look at class time and pick more efficient activities (spend less time going over homework).
Other thoughts
- You know, I should keep track of data as I implement tasks. What is the improvement?
- I should keep a journal/blog of this journey...
- I should then present at a local conference about my journey.
