  1. Algebra Screening and Progress Monitoring Anne Foegen, Ph.D. Iowa State University Barbara Dougherty, Ph.D. University of Missouri U. S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences

  2. Overview • What is ASPM? • Algebra progress monitoring overview • Commitments from participating teachers • Benefits of participation • Research activities • Q & A

  3. What is APSM?

  4. ASPM Basics • Funded by the Institute for Education Sciences, US Department of Education • $1.5M over four years • Extend previous research on algebra progress monitoring • Designed for 3 sites • Mississippi (Desoto County) • Missouri (Independence) • Iowa (Sioux City)

  5. ASPM Goals and Activities • Develop and refine 6 types of algebra progress monitoring measures • Procedural (3 existing measures, refined) • Conceptual (2 exist, 1 in development) • Extend existing research • Research activities • Measure development (Years 1, 2) • Static measurement (screening, Years 1, 2)) • Progress monitoring (Years 3, 4)

  6. Algebra Progress Monitoring

  7. Algebra Progress Monitoring • Key features • Brief, frequent assessment using measures of constant difficulty • Assessment content represents long term outcomes • Graphed data used to monitor student growth • Complements existing assessment strategies

  8. Sample Measures • Procedural • Algebra Basic Skills • Algebra Foundations • Algebra Content Analysis • Conceptual • Concept of a Variable • Proportional Reasoning

  9. Sample Progress Graph

  10. Commitments for Participation

  11. Participating in ASPM • Professional development for teachers • Teacher data collection • Student data collection

  12. Teacher Professional Development • Learning about algebra progress monitoring (administration, interpretation, scoring) • Instruction for data collection activities • Feedback on measures, face validity of data, other “consumer” input • Years 1 and 2: 3 meetings/year

  13. Teacher Data Collection • Demographic information • Ratings of student proficiency • Interviews/focus groups to provide feedback on procedures, measure content and administration, face validity and format for sharing data with teachers

  14. Student Data Collection • Year 1: Static Studies of Procedural Measures • 3 types of measures • 2 forms of each at 3 points (early class 1 and 2, end of class) • Initial instruction and practice assessments • Year 2: Static Studies of Conceptual and Revised Procedural Measures • Year 3: Progress Monitoring

  15. Benefits of ASPM Participation

  16. Benefits of Participation • Professional development for teachers • Access to algebra progress monitoring measures and materials • Access to online PD materials in future • Teacher stipends: $75 per participating class, $75 per project meeting • All project costs (duplication, mailing) paid by ISU
