Description of Presentation:

In light of the CCSSM standards, and reduced budgets for school districts, it is now common for teachers and district leaders to construct significant portions of their curricula from online resources. However, recent research suggests that few tools exist to guide this work, and that current approaches often lead to fragmented learning experiences for students. In this session, presenters describe a learning map and corresponding diagnostic assessment system designed to support teachers to construct coherent instructional experiences for middle school students from online resources aligned to CCSSM. The learning map represents student thinking using the idea of Relational Learning Clusters, and presenters will describe how research on learning trajectories is represented in the map. Attendees will explore the map, assessments, and discuss opportunities and challenges in this new line of work.
