Goal: To determine if using a curriculum management system to deliver lessons created by the classroom teacher will improve DAEP students’ academic performance on the math section of the TAKS.
STEP 1: Identify which TAKS math objective will be used in creating the lessons to be delivered by the CMS.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Time Line: August 16 – August 18, 2010
Resources Needed: Prior years’ exit level math TAKS results for DAEP
Evaluations: Determine which weaknesses will be focused on based on which math objective had the highest instance of failure.
STEP 2: Create pre-test, CMS lessons, and post-test for the selected TAKS math objective.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Timeline: August 19 – September 6, 2010
Resources Needed: Required technology, 2008/09 TAKS questions
Evaluations: Gain approval from supervisor and campus technologists, making any amendments necessary based on their recommendations.
STEP 3: Select which students will use the CMS.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Timeline: September 7- September 10, 2010
Resources Needed: Prior years’ data identifying students that failed the exit level math section of the TAKS
Evaluations: Receive approval from supervisor and campus technologists for student selections and plot chosen students’ prior scores on the math objective being tested.
STEP 4: Students will use the CMS to complete the pre-test, lesson, and post-test.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Timeline: September 13 - October 14, 2010
Resources Needed: Required technology
Evaluations: Create a chart for each student displaying their results for prior TAKS scores, pre-test scores, and post-test scores.
STEP 5: Conduct interviews with the students about the use of CMS.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Timeline: October 15 - October 22, 2010
Resources Needed: Site supervisor pre-approved questions to be used for interviewing students.
Evaluations: Evaluate rather or not the students felt the CMS made a difference in their approach or confidence, any suggestions they have to improve the CMS, and rather or not they felt more or less engaged in the CMS versus traditional packets.
STEP 6: Evaluate and compare the results of the prior, pre-test and post-test scores.
Person Responsible: Kathy Perdue
Timeline: October 25 – December 10, 2010
Resources Needed: Results of prior TAKS, pre-test, and post-test for students completing the assignment
Evaluations: Determine if a marked or substantial difference in scores can be seen after completing the CMS lessons.
