High School Readiness ProgramOverview
• Use online learning and assessment system • In 8th grade math classes • Along with technology-appropriate pedagogy • To improve student’s test scores • By giving students more individual attention• Getting students to “do” more math than they have
ever done before• Using tools that today’s students prefer
Old
New
• Professional Development Workshop to train teachers 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education2. Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery3. Content: Math homework
• Implement in Fall 2011
• Follow with support throughout academic year
High School Readiness ProgramThe Plan
1. Technology: MyMathLab• web-based learning and assessment system• algorithmically-generated math exercises• immediate grading of homework with constructive
feedback for incorrect answers• allows multiple attempts of Similar Exercise• interactive Help Me Solve This• static View an Example• exercise and section videos• easily adaptable to curriculum changes• quizzes and tests built and customized• personalized homework from quizzes and tests
MyMathLab Homework Exercise
MyMathLab View an Example
2. Pedagogy:Redesigned Course Delivery
• Teacher-centered whole-class instruction for 1/3 of face-to-face time in traditional classroom setting
• Student-centered individual instruction for 2/3 of face-to-face time in computer lab setting
Preparation for teacher-centered
whole-class instruction
Preparation for student-centered
individual instruction
3. Content: Math Homework
In order to be “certified” by the LDOE to participate in this program, teachers must complete all homework in MyMathLab that 8th grade math students will be required to do for the year by the end of the workshop – with 100% accuracy.

High School Readiness Program Origin
• Based on highly successful LSU College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus course redesign program
• Spin-off of the LSU College Readiness and Dual Enrollment Program
