// An Action Plan is a plan for making a teaching change that will enhance your students understanding of mathematics. //  Lisa Warden Middle School 6-8 advisory, 6-7 language arts, 7 math, 8 math, 8 algebra, 7 science Describe your student population (approximate number, ethnicity, language, etc)
 * Action Plan **
 * Describe your teaching situation **

What teaching change (instruction, assessment, materials) you like to improve? Explain how your teaching change will improve your students’ ability to learn mathematics. Also, describe possible ways that technology might assist you in making your teaching change. I would like to add more deliberate formative assessment this year. The technology I would like to use is a student response system. With the system I can quickly collect and dissagregate the data to keep my informed about my students' progress. Identify at least two teaching goals (measurable accomplishment that if met would enable your students to learn mathematics more effectively). SMART Goal #1: By the end of the first quarter I will use an entry and/or exit task using my student response system 3 out of 5 days per week. Describe at least two things you are going to do as a teacher to accomplish your teaching goals. These actions may or may not use technology but if they do not use technology, explain why technology is or is not the best teaching tool for your teaching change.

First I need to purchase a student response system to use in class. As I do my lesson planning, I will create entry/exit tasks and have them in my teacher's book. Identify how you are going to assess each of your teaching goals (simple method of collecting information to see if your teach goals was met). Outline a general timeline that identifies when you are going to use your actions, collect your assessment data Write a reflection on the results of your action plan. What was difficult? What worked well? How did your students react to the changes you made? What was the impact on student learning?
