QUESTIONS

3 teachers in one classroom

‘How can three teachers,

while two are in training,

improve instruction with the AUSL model?’

Discovered

- Math is generally taught for the standardized test. - - Since the MAP tests, the mentor has emphasized that students are working on their weak areas to improve their ISAT scores.

- Some students who are new to the AUSL model find it difficult to understand the purpose of the strict expectations

- Mentor has better classroom management

- Data is constantly and consistently used to fine-tune instructional methods

Action Plan

Through observations, assessments (such as exit slips, quizzes, and test), and videos, I have collected data to show the effectiveness of the different teachers. While it has been difficult to measure the effectiveness of instruction, as each teacher alternates classes on a daily basis, I have observed the foundation of instruction- classroom management- and how it varies with each teacher.

Along with measuring teacher effectiveness, I intend to delve deeper into other facets of public education- such as student responses to the AUSL model, administration effectiveness, and math instructions.

I intend to continue videotaping and collecting data to deepen my understanding while answering my question.

Is level 0 effective in keeping order or is it repressive?

How can teachers connect to students if most of the school day (ie- transitions and breakfast) is level 0?

How can I measure teacher effectiveness if each teacher is alternating classes?

How can students develop as functioning members of society where the focus is on order and assessments?

Conclusions

- From my observations, I believe that my mentor is more effective in instruction (as she has more control of the classroom).

- My co-resident and I have been building better rapport with some students, who are focusing more in class.

- Based on observations, students who fight against the system tend to misbehave more frequently in class.

- Some students view math as a subject that is learned to simply pass the ISAT.
