Management Team Events Reimburse travel expenses for management team participation in ED and GaDOE-hosted MSP events according to state/system guidelines.
Materials and Supplies Funds may be spent on materials and supplies to facilitate professional learning of teachers, not on classroom instructional materials.
Indirect Costs Not to exceed 8% (fiscal agent…total allowed for entire grant)
What do I need to document?
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
EVERYTHING! Careful documentation is key.For a cost to be charged to a federal program, it
must be reasonable as to amount and necessity. It must be allocable. Is it a cost that a prudent person would incur under the given circumstances? Is the federal program bearing its fair share of the cost?
Time and effort reporting requirements emanate from the cost principles that apply to grants: OMB Circular A-21 (universities) OMB Circular A-87 (governments) OMB Circular A-122 (nonprofit organizations)
Federal Guidelines
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
OMB circulars can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/
The ED web site has a searchable version of EDGAR ( Education Department General Administrative Regulations). It can be accessed at http://www.ed.gov/policy/fund/reg/edgarReg/edgar.html

Professional Learning
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Pre-GCTM, October and Pre-GSTA , February Topics for year based on reading applications—seeing
obvious needs often with few deliberate work plan to address the needs
West Ed, Math Pathways and Pitfalls (ELL) West Ed, Science for ELL NSDC, Differentiation in the Mathematics and Science
Classrooms (SWD) I would like teams to attend, support personnel working
with our MSP teachers, etc….I hope to cover most of cost, but that may require you to “register” attendees in late August to early September and project travel costs

Standards-Based Instruction Standard #1: The Teacher consistently uses research-based practices in the classroom.
Standard #2: The teacher challenges all earners to achieve high levels of learning as defined by GPS.

Evaluation Instruments
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Learning Mathematics for Teaching (LMT) Elementary and Middle School Levels:
a) numbers and operations, b) geometry, c) patterns, functions, and algebra
Misconceptions-Oriented Science Assessment Resource for Teachers (MOSART) Elementary and Middle School: a) earth science, b)
physical science, c) astronomy/space science High School: a) physics, b) chemistry, c) earth
science, d) astronomy/space science
Learning Mathematics for Teaching
Assumptions and aims of LMT work To develop items that measure mathematics that
teachers use in teaching, not just what they teach To orient the items around problems that all teachers
might face in teaching mathematics To produce useable measures:
With items that are not grade-specific With items that do not represent any single view of
teaching (e.g., “reform”) Which can discriminate among teachers’ capability in this
area To make progress in developing theory of knowledge

MOSART
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Misconceptions-Oriented Student Assessment Resource for Teachers
Mission: provide assessment instruments linked to the K-12 physical and earth science content of the national standards and research literature documenting misconceptions of science concepts. Probe how teachers’ scientific ideas compare to
those of scientists. Probe for conceptual shift as a result of PD.
High School Mathematics
We are pulling together a committee to work on this project.
We still have room if any of you are interested in helping us select and create test questions.
We will work to have this test to you as early in July as is possible…we realize it is a PRE-test after-all
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Our tests are just one piece of the puzzle…
In the APR, annual performance report, you will have to record matching pre- and post-tests on these common assessments.
However, in the evaluator’s narrative report, you can expand and explain all other pieces of the assessment puzzle (formative, instructor –made, observations, qualitative surveys……)
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
General Testing Procedure
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Project evaluators or MSP Leader administers pretests. Scantron forms:
4-digit ID# left justified First 4 letters of lead organization under last name Name of test and level written under subject
Pretests mailed to GaDOE as complete set. Scores used to modify instructional plan.
Project evaluators or MSP Leader administers mid-point/posttests. Analyze results to evaluate effectiveness of PD.
Terms of Use
Copyright information must be included on all instruments.
Measures cannot be used to publicly demonstrate teachers’ ability or lack of ability in mathematics, specifically including: Not publicly discussing raw frequencies or number correct; Not comparing participants from one project to other
participants in any way that reveals raw frequencies or number correct.
Measures cannot be used to evaluate individual teachers for tenure, pay, hiring, or any other use with high-stakes consequence.
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Terms of Use
The privacy of participants must be safeguarded. LMT non-released items cannot be used in any
presentation, paper, article, or other public form. Changes may not be made to any assessment item. Copies of measures may not be distributed outside of
the Georgia MSP project directors’ circle. Test administrators must generally abide by the
standards put forth in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (AERA/APA 1999).
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
GADOE Terms of LMT and MOSART Use
GADOE will provide the LMT and MOSART measures in hard copy to MSP project directors who may only use them for MSP professional development assessment purposes.
Participating MSP project directors will administer the forms as pre and post measures and will not keep records of teachers’ answers or ID numbers.
Participating MSP project directors will not score the tests but will instead mail them to the MSP state director.
Participating MSP project directors will not alter the forms in any way.
Participating MSP project directors will include the data collected from pre and post instruments in their Annual Performance Reports to USED.
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Cautions
Georgia MSP FY10 Kickoff Session
Double check that participants have not chosen duplicate identification numbers.
Make sure that answers have been bubbled in appropriately with a PENCIL.
Send answer forms for scoring in bundles by content and grade level.
Use cover sheets!LMT will go on-line…more tomorrow..
Thanks!
Let the fun begin!If you are not administering the MOSART
assessments, because you are doing math only, you are free to leave. Safe Travels!
Refer to you calendar and all with any questions!
If you are working with teachers in the area of science, 3-12, please take a short break (10 minutes) and return for a brief training.
