SUMMER 2015 PAGE 4 Math Stations for the Secondary Math Classroom Register at: i.mahoningesc.org Intended audience: Math Teachers, Grades 5-12 The Math Stations strategy is based on the work of Carol Ann Tomlinson. She differentiates between centers and stations. Centers are areas in the classroom where students refine a skill or extend a concept. Stations are different places in the classroom where students work on tasks simultaneously, and whose activities are linked. During Math Stations students do not rotate round-robin style; instead, the teacher carefully plans which students will visit which stations, and when. In this way, the station tasks will support meeting the instructional needs of individual students. Bring your best lesson (that may or may not have stations/centers already built in) to share with others. Lessons will be scanned and uploaded into a shared Google Folder.

SUMMER 2015 PAGE 14 Assessment Literacy in the English Language Arts Classroom Register at: i.mahoningesc.org Intended audience: ELA Teachers, grades 5-12 Backwards Design creators Wiggins and McTighe argue that you can’t start planning how you’re going to teach until you know exactly what you want your students to learn. Teachers must think of assessments as an integrated part of their instruction, rather than a separate activity that comes after the learning. In this professional development, teachers will: Learn how to create assessments to mirror standardized assessments, rather than creating isolated test prep time. Discuss learning priorities in the ELA classroom, and how these influence pacing guides, SLOs, etc… (e.g. close reading, textual evidence, writing for a variety of tasks, purposes and audiences). Learn how to assessing standards, rather than texts. Understand text complexity, and how to best choose rigorous texts for assessments Create text dependent questions that encourage students to use close reading strategies.

In New Delhi and remote areas of India, students who had little to no formal education were given access to a computer and high speed internet while a camera monitored their interactions. The results were incredible and almost impossible to believe. Children with little or no input from an adult instructor led themselves on a process of enthusiastic exploration, discovery, and peer coaching that resulted in the ability to learn almost anything – new languages, the solution to complex questions, science and math, and more. Fourteen years of research and iteration since then continue to support these starting results. Professor Mitra has honed this work into a concept of Self-Organizing Learning Environments or SOLEs, which draw on children’s natural curiosity to create a dynamic space for students to learn, interact and develop critical problem-solving skills. Professor Mitra’s vision has earned him the first ever one million dollar TED Prize. Jeffrey McClellan is supporting the implementation of SOLE in the Cleveland Region and beyond. This session will be an introduction to the SOLE approach. Self-Organized Learning Environments can work with students of all ages. Participants will also learn more information about free support for implementation in their educational environment. The first half of the session will be learning the concept through experiencing the process. The second half of the session will be more of a work session with support in order to plan a SOLE with other educators from our area. If the registration for this exceeds expectations a follow-up session may be opened immediately following this first session.
