)

II Cut-score-setting process and pilot testing issues

III CTC system implementation task force: a) decisions to date

b) what needs to be done

c) consider larger issue of math placement testing for CTC system

d) develop work plan and process for producing recommendations by summer 2009




Current/Proposed Evaluation Efforts

• Support RiverPoint/ Spokane qualitative study

• Strategic Plan, Ed First Consult.• Quantitative analyses with SESRC’s

Dave Pavelchek• Case study work with UC-Berkeley

researcher, Mickey Davis• In-house web survey efforts


Discussion QuestionsGroup Discussion TopicWe will give you a minute to think these questions through before you are called upon to reply, using your microphone

What do you think people in your project would say is/are the best reason(s) to be involved in your project?

. . .the hardest part?

. . .how can or do you overcome the hardest parts?


Rapid Response Survey

• Types of questions:– Personal/professional growth– Overcoming challenges– What if TMP never existed– What would be lost if TMP goes away

• 75 responses• Rich, detailed feedback• 47% teachers, 16% faculty• 97% helped grow professionally / personally


Select Responses• Creating lessons aimed at CRS enabled me to focus on the

core of the lesson and direct the learning to a more focused point. Teacher

• Our connection with the faculty at Shoreline Community College would be non-existent. We have also been able to view other projects that people are doing and add it to our work. Math TOSA

• The alliances with regional 9-16 math faculty has proven to be very valuable in many aspects. The greatest asset is our united desire to address and improve student success transitioning to the college level regarding math. Through this grant we have had time and resources (limited) to address the concern and develop a plan to implement change in our high school with the hope of rolling it out to other area high schools. Teacher


Select Responses

• Has honed my skill in preparing learning activities and assessment tools that are very specific related to the college readiness standards. I have more exciting and challenging lessons that engage my learners more. Teacher

•Due to my work with TMP, I have moved to a more collaborative approach to teaching. Collecting data and analyzing what my students have learned with other teachers. Teacher

•Without TMP, I would not have been exposed to the Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle and I would not have had experience in student-friendly learning targets. I would not have had the breadth or depth of experience with formative assessment strategies. Teacher
