{"data":{"ID":1132,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1667318035,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"The Formula For Equity in Advanced Mathematics","Handle":"the_formula_for_equity_in_advanced_mathematics","ShortDescription":"What does true equity look like in advanced math courses?  This conversation addresses two essential questions. How do we help every student achieve readiness for college-level math, regardless of their background?  How do we use an inquiry approach and standards-based grading to support students once they are in these courses?","Description":"Many students are effectively shut out of math courses beyond Algebra 2 because of groups they were placed in before high school.  Exposure to too much content too fast can be just as damaging as not having the opportunity to learn the content at all.  Participants will hear about a pilot program at NeoCity Academy in Florida called \u201cJourney 2 Calculus\u201d which is meeting students where they are as rising 9th graders.  Through various engagement and intervention strategies, this program is growing a calculus program at the school with a goal of 100% participation in calculus studies before graduation. \r\n\r\nEven for students who have gained access to courses at a precalculus level and beyond, our quest for equity is not over.  We must continue to support these students by creating learning environments in which curiosity is rewarded and failures are appreciated as opportunities for growth.  Participants will share ideas for adapting advanced math lessons to be more inquiry-based and systems for implementing standards-based grading within a skills-rich curriculum.","Link":[],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"Journey 2 Calculus narrative:\r\n\u2022\tinteractive app (mentimeter.com) to utilize audience input. \r\n\u2022\tinspirational goal-setting\/action plan exercise for programs back home\r\n\r\nInquiry\/Standards-based grading Roundtable Problem Solving:\r\n\u2022\tParticipants will create & select \u201cburning question\u201d\/problem to pose to their group\r\n\u2022\tParticipants will record 1 idea\/resource\/contact to help with others\u2019 \u201cburning questions\u201d  \r\n\u2022\tMost participants will receive many ideas, and all will be invited to join an online community for ongoing discussion.","Presenter":["Kelli Bateman"],"PresenterAffiliation":["NeoCity Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["kelli.bateman@osceolaschools.net"],"ScheduleSlotID":142,"ScheduleLocationID":33,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Kelli is an Instructional Mentor and teaches Calculus Honors & AP Calculus at NeoCity Academy in Kissimmee, FL.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":10}}
