Download or read book Grade Expectations for Vermont's Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities, Spring 2004 (Mathematics, Reading and Writing). written by Vermont State Department. of Education, Montpelier and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document, "Grade Expectations for Vermont's Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities" (hereafter "Vermont's Grade Expectations"), is an important companion to "Vermont's Framework." These Grade Expectations (GEs) serve the same purposes as "Vermont's Framework," but articulate learning expectations by grade levels in mathematics, reading, and writing (GLEs), and by clusters of two grades (GCEs) in other areas of "Vermont's Framework." Purposes of "Vermont's Grade Expectations" and "Vermont's Framework" are: (1) To provide a structure from which standards-based district, school, and classroom curriculum can be developed, organized, implemented, and assessed; (2) provide a basis for the development of state, local, and classroom comprehensive assessment systems; and (3) To make explicit what may be included in statewide assessments of student learning. Grade Expectations, while making comprehensive use of recent research and national standards work, have been derived directly from "Vermont's Framework"--integrating Field of Knowledge and Vital Results Standards. The GEs provide explicit guidance at each grade level or grade cluster for districts and schools to review curriculum and to develop local assessments. The GEs meet the requirements of NCLBA for the development of grade level expectations: (1) To support assessments in reading and mathematics in grades 3-8 and one high school grade; and (2) To support assessments in science in one elementary, one middle, and one high school grade. GEs also provide guidance for development of statewide assessments in writing in one elementary, one middle, and one high school grade, and for local assessment development across "Vermont's Framework," necessary under Vermont Act 68. Most importantly, the GEs support comprehensive local instruction, curriculum, and assessment practices essential to improving student performance for all Vermont students and narrowing achievement gaps. Appendixes to section one, "Mathematical Understanding," include: (1) Background for M2:3; and (2) Measurement Benchmarks. Appendixes to section two, "Reading," include: (1) The Six Syllable Types; (2) Resource for Understanding Language Structure; (3) Fluency Rates; (4) A Discussion of "Increasing Text Complexity"; (5) Suggested Informational and Literary Texts; and (6) Glossary of Reading Terms. Finally, appendixes to the third section, "Writing," include: (1) Writing Clusters, Genres Defined; (2) Glossary of Writing Terms; and (3) Overview of the Writing Process.
Book Synopsis Designing Mathematics or Science Curriculum Programs by : National Research Council
Download or read book Designing Mathematics or Science Curriculum Programs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-12-15 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of the National Science Education Standards and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics, a clear set of goals and guidelines for achieving literacy in mathematics and science was established. Designing Mathematics or Science Curriculum Programs has been developed to help state- and district-level education leaders create coherent, multi-year curriculum programs that provide students with opportunities to learn both mathematics and science in a connected and cumulative way throughout their schooling. Researchers have confirmed that as U.S. students move through the grade levels, they slip further and further behind students of other nations in mathematics and science achievement. Experts now believe that U.S. student performance is hindered by the lack of coherence in the mathematics and science curricula in many American schools. By structuring curriculum programs that capitalize on what students have already learned, the new concepts and processes that they can learn will be richer, more complex, and at a higher level. Designing Mathematics or Science Curriculum Programs outlines: Components of effective mathematics and science programs. Criteria by which these components can be judged. A process for developing curriculum that is structured, focused, and coherent. Perhaps most important, this book emphasizes the need for designing curricula across the entire 13-year span that our children spend in elementary and secondary school as a way to improve the quality of education. Ultimately, it will help state and district educators use national and state standards to design or re-build mathematics and science curriculum programs that develop new ideas and skills based on earlier onesâ€"from lesson to lesson, unit to unit, year to year. Anyone responsible for designing or influencing mathematics or science curriculum programs will find this guide valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a model for taking instruction from the traditional focus on content to a student-centered focus that aligns selected content with quality and context. The organization and alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment is based on practical classroom application. Numerous examples of performance-based mathematics are set in real-life contexts. Performance benchmarks are set for grades 3, 5, 8, and 12, which can be used as guides for customizing instruction. The four sections of the book are: (1) Introduction to Performance-Based Curriculum (a question and answer format); (2) Content/Concept Standards and Performance Benchmarks (organized by major strands including Number Sense and Estimation, Numeration Systems, Patterns, Relationships, and Functions, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and Algebraic Concepts and Operations); (3) Technology Connections (strategies for students to use technology, i.e. computers, to access, interpret, produce, disseminate, and evaluate information); and (4) Performance Designers (a planning tool for teachers to design lessons specifically addressing learning actions). Based upon the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards, the framework for a mathematics curriculum includes real-world applications and multiple problem-solving strategies, the purpose of which is to help students learn how to show what they know. Contains 30 references. (AIM)

Book Synopsis State Curriculum Frameworks in Mathematics and Science by : Rolf K. Blank
Download or read book State Curriculum Frameworks in Mathematics and Science written by Rolf K. Blank and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A majority of states are now involved in developing, revising, and implementing state frameworks in mathematics, science, and other core subjects. The Council of Chief State School Officers completed a one-year study of 60 current state curriculum frameworks in mathematics and science. The purposes of this study were to define and describe state mathematics and science curriculum frameworks, evaluate the role of frameworks in systemic reform, and assist states with development of new frameworks. Chapters in this report reflect key aspects of the design of the study, including: (1) a survey of states to identify frameworks and collect information about state context; (2) a content analysis of key elements of the frameworks using definitions and categories developed in the study; and (3) a qualitative review of specific aspects of recent frameworks by teams of experts. The value of frameworks is as follows: one-half of frameworks link content to teacher professional development; frameworks can provide a rationale for use of technology and tools in classrooms; frameworks can help explain an approach to systemic reform; and frameworks can assist schools in evaluating curriculum organization and resources. Appendices include Elements for Analyzing State Curriculum Frameworks, Definitions of Categories and Concepts for Conceptual Mapping of State Frameworks, Questions for a Qualitative Analysis of State Frameworks in Mathematics and Science, and Sample Vignettes. Contains 34 references. (MKR)

Book Synopsis Mathematics Assessment and Evaluation by : Thomas A. Romberg
Download or read book Mathematics Assessment and Evaluation written by Thomas A. Romberg and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are current testing practices consistent with the goals of the reform movement in school mathematics? If not, what are the alternatives? How can authentic performance in mathematics be assessed? These and similar questions about tests and their uses have forced those advocating change to examine the way in which mathematical performance data is gathered and used in American schools. This book provides recent views on the issues surrounding mathematics tests, such as the need for valid performance data, the implications of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics for test development, the identification of valid items and tests in terms of the Standards, the procedures now being used to construct a sample of state assessment tests, gender differences in test taking, and methods of reporting student achievement.

Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document records the written and oral testimony of witnesses at a hearing on the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. The act has three main components: (1) to provide grants to states and local schools for comprehensive educational reform; (2) to promote the establishment of voluntary national education standards to assist states and local schools in their reform efforts; and (3) to establish a national board bringing together business, labor, and education to promote the development of voluntary occupational skills standards. Witnesses included representatives of education associations, business associations, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Education. Witnesses generally favored the legislation, although they offered differing interpretations and differing scenarios for carrying out parts of the act. Some witnesses stressed the need to create training paths for noncollege-bound students, and others asked that it be determined exactly what students in other countries are learning that U.S. students are not in order to improve standards of education. Witnesses stressed the need to improve mathematics skills and computer skills for all graduates. They also asked the question, "Training for what?" in that job training must be predicated on learning what skills employers want and training students in such skills. (KC)

Book Synopsis Mathematics Education for a Changing World by : Stephen S. Willoughby
Download or read book Mathematics Education for a Changing World written by Stephen S. Willoughby and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion of mathematics curriculum and teaching methods based on the standards issued by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) is presented. The standards emphasize the connectedness of each of the branches of mathematics and underline the relationship of each branch to science and technology. The standards also propose teaching estimation, graphing, statistics, and probability at earlier stages than is now common. This text turns these new standards into a practical reality for teachers and administrators. Chapters include: (1) "Why Change?"; (2) "Recent Recommendations of Professional Groups"; (3) "Implementing Recommendations"; (4) "Problem Solving"; (5) "Technological Developments"; (6)"Connections"; and (7) "Fostering Change."
