Learning Resources and Instructions
1. Watch the following video: What is Guided Math?- [] Prior to watching the video complete the K section (what I know about GM) of the KWL chart. During the video complete the on W section (what changes will I have to make to implement GM?) and after the video complete the L section (what do I still need to learn to correctly implement GM?) Complete the attached document and upload it to the discussion forum. Read your classmates charts and determine the 3 most common known things amongst your classmates, the 2 most common changes that need to take place, and the 1 most common area to focus future sessions on. Due 8/14

2. Review the following powerpoint: Guided Math Powerpoint Review this powerpoint to see the whole picture at a glance. Due 8/21

3. Review our Math CRCT data from 2012-2013. Based on the data reviewed what are our needs in the area of Mathematics? Submit your answers in the discussion forum and read all classmates responses. Respond to 2 classmates. Due 8/28

4. Read Chapter 2: Guided Math book by Laney Simmons- [|http://tinyurl.com/m6dsesy] Read Chapter 2: Using Guided Math to Create a Classroom Environment of Numeracy When reading the Foundational Principles of a Guided Math Classroom- think of how important Guided Math is in relation to our school? Determine which foundational principle would improve our Math scores and how could that be implemented in the classroom? Due 9/7

5. Read Chapter 4 Guided Math book by Laney Simmons- [|http://tinyurl.com/m6dsesy] Read Chapter 4: Using Guided Math with the Whole Class (September- October Focus) Beginning next week (week of __) you will be expected to apply these concepts in your whole group instruction.

6. Read Chapter 5 Guided Math book by Laney Simmons- [|http://tinyurl.com/m6dsesy] __Read Chapter 5: Using Guided Math with Small Groups-(November-February Focus)__ __Create a rubric of things that should be seen when observing a teacher conducting small group instruction during Guided Math. As a group collectively create a final rubric based on rubrics submitted.__ __Beginning next week (week of__ ) you will be expected to apply these concepts in your small group instruction. Walk throughs will be conducted by administration and other teachers. (Small group instruction will be evaluated based on the rubric created collaboratively.) Lesson Plans will need to be submitted to the dropbox. Lesson plans will need to show differentation for 3 levels of students during small group instruction. > > > > **Tiered lessons:** Use this lesson plan template
 * ** Directions on how to write a tiered lesson: **
 * 1) Determine standard and /or skill to address.
 * 2) Review available data to determine students grouping.
 * 3) Design or select a simple task to introduce the chosen standard and/or skill.
 * 4) Based on grouping and data, determine how the tiered lesson will be written-by process, readiness or interest.
 * 5) When writing lessons for guided math, tier by readiness using a Blooms chart.
 * 6) Use the attached lesson plan format and the guide below for writing the three tiers.
 * Tier 1: Use the 2 bottom levels of Blooms (Knowledge, Comprehension) as a guide for the lesson and provide opportunities in mid-level that is guided.
 * Tier 2: Use 2 mid levels of Blooms (Application, Analysis) so students are applying and analyzing using base skills. Provide opportunity for upper levels with some guidance.
 * Tier 3: Review using lowest 4 levels of Blooms (Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis) and assign tasks in the top 2 levels-primarily directed by the child.

(Application Level) demonstrate how to differentiation lessons to meet the needs of all students using the Guided Math model. (Application Level) prepare differentiated lessons for three levels in Math. (Evaluation Level) choose lessons that are appropriate for three student groups in Math. Due 11/1

7. Read Chapter 6 Guided Math book by Laney Simmons- [|http://tinyurl.com/m6dsesy] Read Chapter 6: Supporting Guide Math with Math Workshop- (February- April Focus) Create a rubric of things that should be seen when observing a student during Guided Math independent work time. As a group collectively create a final rubric based on rubrics submitted. Your instructional focus will be on differentiating students' independent work in three different levels. Beginning next week (week of __) you will be expected to apply these concepts when providing students with independent work. Walk throughs will be conducted by administration and other teachers. (Independent assignments will be evaluated based on the rubric created collaboratively.) Lesson Plans will need to be submitted to the dropbox. Lesson plans will need to show differentiated for 3 levels of students independent work activities. Due 2/1

8. Read Chapter 8 Guided Math book by Laney Simmons- [|http://tinyurl.com/m6dsesy] Read Chapter 8: Assessment in Guided Math (May) Determine a standard to assess as a grade level. Create a common pre-assessment at http://guidedmathassessmentpractice.wikispaces.com. Create a rubric to evaluate the common assessment. Each classroom teacher will give the assessment and then rank students ability to determine GM groups. Complete the following document to provide evidence of assessment practice. (Evaluation Level) assess student's knowledge on the Common Core standards in Mathematics. (Evaluation Level) rank students ability on a specific standard based on pre-assessments. (Evaluation Level) select student groups based on teacher observations, assessments and other necessary factors. Due 5/1

9. Complete a Summarizer: summarize how important Guided Math is in relation to our school and your classroom > **School/Classroom** > **3 Things You Found Out** **2 Interesting Things** **1 Question You Still Have**

(Evaluation Level) summarize how important Guided Math is in relation to our school. (Evaluation Level) summarize how important Guided Math is in relation to your classroom Due 5/21
