The Effects of Kentucky Virtual High School’s Hybrid Course in

Algebra I on Teaching Practices, Classroom Quality,

and Adolescent Learning

Online CollaborationFebruary 2010

KY’s Mathematics Standards As Connected to

Hybrid Instruction

GOALS FOR ON-LINE COLLABORATION

• On-line Collaboration using Horizon Wimba:• Share teaching strategies/resources,• Discuss planning instruction,• Analyze student work,• Share formative and summative assessment

instruments/strategies that move learning forward,

• Provide instructional structures where “feedback is focused on how students can improve related to learning goals,”

• Others as defined by teachers and as needed to address issues in the field – including new learning that promotes student achievement.

AGENDA

Technology Issues January Online SummarySchool VisitsKDE – KY Mathematics Standards Algebra I Hybrid Learning Connections Instructional strategies for addressing the

rigors of the KY Mathematics Standards

School Visits

• Want to see how connections are made from face-to-face to online instruction while in the computer lab’, interacting with work done in the lab’, or anticipating to complete in the lab’ the next day

• Send Lesson Plans

• Indicate the Hybrid Algebra Research Standard for which you want feedback

Kentucky Mathematics Standards

•SB 1 - New Assessment System: 2011 – 2012

•KY Core Academic Standards will be assessed in 2011 – 2012.

•This year’s freshmen will be juniors in spring 2012.

•End of course assessments could be included in the new assessment system.

Mathematical Practice Standard

1. Attend to precision.

2. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

3. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

4. Look for and make use of structure.

5. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

6. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

7. Model with mathematics.

8. Use appropriate tools strategically .
