Download or read book Transformational Change Efforts Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning written by Wendy M. Smith and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to help launch institutional transformations in mathematics departments to improve student success. We report findings from the Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning (SEMINAL) study. SEMINAL's purpose is to help change agents, those looking to (or currently attempting to) enact change within mathematics departments and beyond—trying to reform the instruction of their lower division mathematics courses in order to promote high achievement for all students. SEMINAL specifically studies the change mechanisms that allow postsecondary institutions to incorporate and sustain active learning in Precalculus to Calculus 2 learning environments. Out of the approximately 2.5 million students enrolled in collegiate mathematics courses each year, over 90% are enrolled in Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses. Forty-four percent of mathematics departments think active learning mathematics strategies are important for Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses, but only 15 percnt state that they are very successful at implementing them. Therefore, insights into the following research question will help with institutional transformations: What conditions, strategies, interventions and actions at the departmental and classroom levels contribute to the initiation, implementation, and institutional sustainability of active learning in the undergraduate calculus sequence (Precalculus to Calculus 2) across varied institutions?

Book excerpt: This document sketches topics considered by a 1990 conference on student motivation sponsored by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement of the U.S. Department of Education. Educational reforms of the past decade have not produced higher test scores for American students. Rather, American students score lower and study less than students in other developed countries. A number of disincentives to student effort are prevalent. These include: (1) the large number of nonacademic activities which students are encouraged to pursue, and which compete for their time; (2) public policies that reward students for making minimal efforts, a condition exemplified by the fact that, as graduation rates have risen over the past 25 years, academic achievement scores have gone down; (3) ambivalent messages sent by schools when athletes are given privileged status, and peers pressure against academic achievement; and (4) classroom practices by teachers who, although well-intentioned, give students unchallenging work, or convey to students their low expectations. Several strategies to increase student effort are suggested. Appendixes include summaries of conference papers on the role of student effort in Japanese schools; the use of compensatory practices in American schools, such as giving out test answers before a test; and students' interpretations of teachers' behavior and attitudes.

Book excerpt: “Joe Feldman shows us how we can use grading to help students become the leaders of their own learning and lift the veil on how to succeed. . . . This must-have book will help teachers learn to implement improved, equity-focused grading for impact.” --Zaretta Hammond, Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain Crack open the grading conversation Here at last—and none too soon—is a resource that delivers the research base, tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students. With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms. Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for Equity provides A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and endorse a “fixed mindset” about students’ academic potential—practices that are still in place a century later A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning, establishing a rock-solid foundation and a “true north” orientation toward equitable grading practices Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples, strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness Reflection tools for facilitating individual or group engagement and understanding As Joe writes, “Grading practices are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers.” Each one of us should start by asking, “What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?” Then, let’s make the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.

Book excerpt: We are surrounded by voices, but how often do we actually stop and listen to the stories they have to tell? Martha E.Casazza and Sharon L. Silverman have been listening to the stories of students for the past five years, and they share how high achievers have overcome obstacles. Throughout the interviews, students told the authors having someone believe in them was key to their success. Find out what else made a difference in their lives by listening closely to Student Voices. This book offers a fundamental truth: If you listen carefully when students talk, you will learn a great deal. Casazza and Silverman listened, and the result is both a celebration of student achievement and a model for how to foster it. Mike Rose, author, Back to School: Why Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Education Casazza and Silverman go right to the source, the purest source, the student voice, to find out what truly works for students. This is what we as educators need to hear and heed if we truly want to succeed in our efforts to improve education. Robin Ozz, president, National Association for Developmental Education

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter OneRaising student learning effort reasons, influencesand benefitsWhy do schools need to learn how to raise students learning effort? If schools do not consider to raise studnts effort, what negative influences to schools and students and parents will encounter. How to persuade students to learn the skills to raise whose reading ability more easily? Why should schools and students need to pursue learning and teaching targets? How can schools raise student achievement if schools feel they need to implement strategies to raise students learning effort? I believe schools have responsbilities to help students for understanding every lessom more easily.⦁What reasons that teachers and school leaders need to consider how to raise students learning effortsNowadays, teachers have responsibilities to design the right learning target for todays lesson. However, the right learning target for today's lesson builds on the learning targets from previous lessons in the unit and connects with learning targets in future lessons to raise student understanding of important concepts and skills. So, it brings the reason why teachers need to consider how to raise students learning efforts. The reason is because today lessons' educational quality or teacher individual teaching performance experts to improve, it needs to achieve the right learning target for today's lesson from previous lessons that the teacher's teaching experience in the unit and connects with learning target in future lessons to raise studnt understanding of important concepts and skills. Due to this reasons, if the teachers expected whose students can understand concepts and skills more easily. He/she must need to let whose students to learn how to raise whose learning effort in the beginning.Moreover, another reason why teachers need to learn how to raise students, learning effort is that to let students to increase understanding and skills and produce strong evidence of their learning. In some educators' teaching experience shoule that adopting a learning target of the action, such as re-examine the fundamentals of teaching and learning that positively and powerfully. Hence, it seems any lesson teaching and learning successful teachers and schools and students must need to consider how to improve students learning efforts.What is learning target theory of action? The most effective teaching and the most meaningful student learning happens when teachers design the right learning target for today's lesson and use it along with their students to aim for and assess understanding. Another reason is that teachers can be trained to learn how to do any future decision making more easily. If they expected to be one decision making expertise. So, when they can be trained to learn how to implement the best solution methods to solve any chanllenges in the short time. Then, they can be trained to make the most accurate solution methods to raise whose students' learning effort in order to let students feel more satisfactory for their teaching efforts. In the raising teachers' teaching effort if teachers expected to become better able to implement any solution methods to improve students learning efforts. They can attract to plan and implement effective instruction, describe exactly what students will learn, how well they will learn it, what they will do to demonstrate that learning, using their knowledge of typical and not so typical student progress to increase student understanding, establishing teacher look-for to guide instructional decisions, and translating success criteria to studnt look-for that promote the development of assessment- capable students.
