  2. Too Bad that this is a Hoax!

  3. Warning! Side effects from this presentation may include Drowsiness Listlessness Nausea Particularly if you suffer from Dataphobia But if you did you wouldn’t be here!

  6. Student Math Requirements 1980s “Old-style” objectives 1992 Essential Competencies based on NCTM Standards • Content Standards & Benchmarks • Performance Standards K-4, 5-8, 9-12 & quite specific, but not aligned w/ assessment • Based on 2000 NCTM Standards K-8 grade specific and to be aligned w/ assessment

  7. 2005 Revision Last week of June 2005 Available for comment at www.nmlites.org/standards/math/index.html Must be done by the end of next week And what about 21st Century Skills??

  8. High School Grad Requirements 1980 - 2 courses 1986 - 3 courses 2003 - 1 course has to be Algebra I 2009 - Add Geometry? 2010 - Add Algebra II? What data says kids are learning more? What unintended consequences? What support is needed?

  9. “Highly Qualified” Middle School Math & Science Teachers w/ K-8 Colleges courses don’t tell it all, but … Sanders & Wenglinsky 1980 15 credits was to be required Rescinded before it went into effect 2001 NCLB 24 credits & test 24 credits or test 18 credits if 5 years tchg w/ last 2 + 12 credits if reviewed (6 if tchg > 1 subj)

  10. NAEP Math Results NM Nation Math G4 Scale Score 1992 213 219 Math G4 Scale Score 2003 223 234 Math G4 Proficient 1992 12% 19% Math G4 Proficient 2003 18% 35% Math G8 Scale Score 1990 256 262 Math G8 Scale Score 2003 263 276 Math G8 Proficient 1990 11% 17% Math G8 Proficient 2003 17% 32%

  19. Promise not fully realized Integration of Technology 1981/2 – 301 “microcomputers” in schls Calculators as tools for learning Programming as a context for learning

  20. Programming Courses at NMSU C S 110 “Computer Literacy” Two lessons on Visual BASIC CS 110 Enrollments in Fall 04 Main Campus 1038 Alamogordo 253 Carlsbad 92 Doña Ana 414 Grants 112 Total 1909

  21. Programming Courses really C S 167 C Programming 27 in Fall & 16 in Spring 9 “A”, 9 “B”, 1 “C”, 2 “D”, 4 “F”, 2 “W” C S 171 Algorithmic Structures 40 in Fall & 27 in Spring C S 177 C++ Programming 3 in Spring C S 187 Java Programming 3 in Fall & 10 in Spring

  22. Programming Courses at Branches In Fall 2004 In Alamogordo – nothing In Carlsbad – OECS 150 Visual BASIC (11) In Doña Ana – OECS 141 BASIC (14) OECS 192 C++ (12) In Grants - nothing

  23. Closing gaps while raising the bar Aligned Standards & assessment Danger of teaching to tests Expecting more of high school But Grade 8 proficiency level? Without pushing many students out! Improving teaching as main job of all teachers
