  1. Online Embedded Professional Development for High School Mathematics Teachers in the Appalachian Region Lee Alan HanawaltRoher LRoher@ms.uky.edu www.ms.uky.edu/~lroher/

  2. Research and Development The intellectual property employed in the access to Algebra program was developed in open source by the University of Kentucky Mathematical Sciences through grants and contracts funded by : • The National Science Foundation • The US Department of Education • The Ky Department of Education • The Ky Council on Postsecondary Education • The University of Kentucky

  3. A Professional Learning Community • Through this Online Embedded Professional Development (OEPD) program a professional learning community has developed a collaborative team of individuals working together toward a shared educational vision, values, and goals.

  4. Population: Access to Algebra • 2006 - present • 17 Appalachian region secondary school mathematics teachers • Over 210 Appalachian region secondary school students

  5. A Professional Learning Community: The setup • Summer Institute • Weekly Meetings • Sponsor Students in a College Algebra Program

  6. Access to Algebra Startup

  7. Meeting Format • Weekly meetings online • Discuss: • Access to Algebra Student Program • Instructional practices • Technology implemented and developed through the • Student progress

  8. Communication Equipment • Headset with microphone • Connectix Web camera • Notetaker (electronic pen set)

  9. Meeting Etiquette & Communication Ask a question – or wait to be recognized to participate Confirm/Agree or Just say Yes Disagree or Just say No Show amusement Applaud Need to leave your computer for a moment

  10. OnLine Meeting Communication • Video • Audio • Application Share • Text chat • Meeting Recording

  11. Access to Algebra – High School Students

  12. Instructional Structure Class Structures (determined by local school) • Face-to-Face Class • Independent Study Daily Teacher Access • Independent Study Limited Teacher Access Instructional Materials • Free Textbook • Online Textbook • Online Homework • Online Exams scored at UK

  13. WebClass is Located at www.mathclass.org Web homework for 5000 Math/Spanish Students/semester Create Your Own Account Here KEMTP KyOTe Various Guides and Tutorials

  14. Online Homework • UK math classes • MA109, MA110, MA113, MA114, MA123, MA261 and More • Access to Algebra Program • K-P16 availability • Spanish I and II • Calculus, algebra, and trig at UTC It is also used for numerous single-section courses.

  15. Accessing Homework Communication Online Exams Versions

  16. Questions do not have to be multiple choice

  17. Free Web Homework with Video Solution: Videos Prepared by UK Faculty and Pre-service math teachers through support from AMSP

  18. Formatted Math Feedback allows students to direct specific questions about homework problems to teacher and/or instructional assistants.

  19. System supports secure, formatted open response math exams with intuitive, ‘calculator syntax’ expressions This provides the capacity to economically and efficiently administer, “collect ” and return open response math exams with fully formatted responses

  20. Computer Scoring Assessments Note: Homework assessments can also have hand graded problems.

  21. Secure Online Exams • The Kentucky Online Testing Program (KyOTe) • Kentucky Early Mathematics Testing Program (KEMTP) • Access to Algebra Program

  22. Scheduling Interface Exams on the List for this class Session name(e.g. “Placement Exam”) Session password. Mustbe provided to the proctor(s) for the session Session date Exam start and end times.The exam first appears on the Placement Exam Menu at the start time. Session IP restrictions. (asterisk, “*”, for none) Exam code: Student Level Parameters (controls whether exams can be restarted, multiple submissions are permitted, and reports are given immediately.)

  23. Student View of an Exam Session Proctor selects, opens exam using password for that exam Student submits identification data which displays exam Student takes and submits exam Student may get report

  24. Scheduling An Exam Session (Done by the class “Teacher” (owner) or a class member with that assigned role ) a. On the Instructor Tools Page select your placement class and pressExam Scheduling b. Press Create New Session

  25. Making Assessments • Microsoft Word • Maple Software

  26. The intellectual property employed in the access to Algebra program was developed in open source by the University of Kentucky Mathematical Sciences through grants and contracts funded by : • The National Science Foundation • The US Department of Education • The Ky Department of Education • The Ky Council on Postsecondary Education • The University of Kentucky
