Session Objectives

Become familiar with the purpose of teaching to state standards, extended indicators

Read and discuss teaching strategies for middle school state standards, extended indicators

Take away sample materials for teaching NeSA-AA Math extended indicators

Page 3: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Research indicates that students with significant disabilities are

able to learn complex math skills when provided with systematic

instruction and support.

(Snell & Brown, 2010)

Our job is to…

Raise academic content standards

Provide instruction that includes coherent and rigorous content

Teach advanced skills

Increase academic achievement

Page 5: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Accountability

Page 6: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Factors

Curriculum consistency

Emphasize Pre-teaching, Teaching, Re-teaching based on unit chapter tests, quick quizzes,

Expectation with appropriate supports

Page 7: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Factors

Expectations

Highly Reliable Organization

Effective Instruction

Collaboration

Page 8: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Factor: Expectations

Expect students to make continual progress towards grade level content standards

Students on alternative assessment should have access to the same content taught to all students

Teachers should be familiar with district and state standards and connect to IEPs.

Page 9: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Special Education Intervention

Processes for helping our struggling students need to be intentional.

No Low-Slow Groups

Think-Pair-Share: How can you increase expectations for at your school?

Page 10: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Factor: Highly Reliable Organization

Stick with the NeSA AAM Extended Indicators support materials

Consistent Curriculum

Pre-Teaching

Pre-teaching works best when paired with direct instruction.

When component skills of mathematical procedures are pre-taught, children learn to solve math problems much faster

Pre-teaching components of a skill is more efficient than simultaneously mastering the components and integrating them to form a more complex skill.

("Pre-teaching," 1980)

Page 13: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Pre-Teaching

Scheduling prior to large groups instruction

Student confidence results in increased classroom engagement

Page 14: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Concrete-Representational-Abstract

Begin with concrete examples and continually expand towards abstract understanding.

Concrete- “doing” stage of using concrete objects to model problems

Representational-”seeing” stage using representations of objects to model problems

Abstract- “symbolic” stage of using abstract symbols to model problems

("Concret-representational-abstract instructional approach," 2004)

Example

NeSA-AAM Extended Indictor

4th Grade 4.1.3.f Select the appropriate method of computation when solving

problems (addition and subtraction)

Page 16: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Concrete: Use manipulatives

Page 19: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

Your Turn

With a partner or small group, pick an extended indicator.

Design a concrete, representational, and abstract example to share with the class.

Factor: Collaboration

Collaborate with the classroom teacher on the following:

Concepts

Pacing

Individual skills

Vocabulary

Page 24: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

LPS NeSA-AAM Supports

Becoming familiar with the Nebraska NeSA-AA

Math Standards and the Extended Indicators

Look at Alternate, Extended Standards at a Glance

Page 25: NeSA Alternate Assessment Math

LPS NeSA-AAM Supports

Review sample materials

Look at data collections forms

Discuss Reporting forms
