THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Produced for The University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education, the following collection highlight the work of the CPRE Knowledge Hub and was produced in-house during my time as resident Multimedia Producer.

“The Consortium for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) presents CPRE Knowledge Hub, a vibrant, online platform designed to bring together education policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. At the CPRE Knowledge Hub, we believe that the purpose of research is found in the ongoing interactions between researchers who study particular educational phenomena, policymakers who craft education policies and procedures, and practitioners who create environments and conditions in schools and classrooms.”

This video is hosted as part of the 2018 STEM for All Video Showcase: Transforming the Educational Landscape at: http://videohall.com/p/1186 Please join the conversation during this event May 14-May 21, 2018 This video highlights an early stage design and development project focused on translating research into tools and routines that K-2 teachers can use to formatively assess and respond to student thinking in relation to research-based learning trajectories in early number, addition and subtraction. The tools include: 1) a framework designed for teachers that includes problem contexts and structures as well as learning progressions illustrating student strategies along a continuum of understanding 2) a bank of formative assessment items and pre-assessments that teachers can use to quickly collect evidence of student thinking in relation to core concepts in order to inform instruction on an ongoing basis, and 3) professional development for teachers, teacher leaders and OGAP trainers on the underlying research on the development of number and operations and the analysis of formative assessment items to improve instruction. The video illustrates how these tools are being used by teachers in classrooms across the country to inform and target instruction to the needs of diverse learners.
