Assignment+Deadlines

=Assignment Deadlines=
 * - Ongoing throughout the course - Reflective Journals ** – Candidates will record ongoing reflections about such topics as responses to articles, seminar topics, teaching experiences, possible questions for action research, summary of new learning etc. to document their growth in meeting the expectations identified for the course. The instructional leader will provide feedback in the form of written comments and questions. The instructional leader may also request a conference to discuss the progress and/or the communication of learning demonstrated in the journal.


 * - July 8, 2009 ** - ** Teacher Inquiry Plan ** which identifies the research question, the mathematics content, strategies for gathering feedback about lesson design

- **July 10, 2009 -** **Technology Webquest** – Explore a range of mathematics tasks using technology to discern tasks that are useful for specific learning goals.

- **July 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 2009** - **Topic Discussions** – small group facilitated discussions

**- July 13 and 16, 2009 -** **Math Tasks (1 and 2)** – Develop multiple solutions Math Tasks (1 and 2) to a mathematics problem provided; anticipate possible solutions representing the mathematical thinking from grade 6 to grade 10 curriculum; organize range of student solutions (grade 6 to grade 10) according to mathematics criteria (learning goal); mathematically annotate mathematical concepts, models, and strategies, provide a lesson summary

- **July** **2009** - **Annotated Bibliography**  of at least six recent publications (no later than 2000, unless it is seminal reading that relate directly to the mathematics topic of your inquiry. Include a description of the mathematics from the article that informs your lesson design and an explanation of how each article informs your lesson design - July 15, 2009 - Learning Theories Paper – ** Analyse the design and/or implementation of a math lesson using learning theories: Adolescent Learning, Constructivism, Complexity theory, Maslow, Communities of Practice to analyse a lesson design and implementation strategies and problem solving lesson criteria.


 * - July 17, 2009 - Assessing peers lesson plans and solving each other's lesson problems – **description of all aspects of the teacher inquiry that includes having participants do the problem from the inquiry lesson and analysis/discussion of student work samples, using visuals (e.g., chart paper or power point)


 * - July 31, 2009 - Written Report **of Teacher Inquiry Project with **Log** and **Annotated Bibliography**
