          • Comment will be noted on when and why deduction has occurred
          • Repeated infractions will result in any or all of the following:
            • Mr. Hickman will bring student into hall to take a selfie with student and student will send that selfie to student's parent
            • Mr. Hickman will commit a person from your parent/guardian contacts list to my phone and I will take pictures and send texts to parents/guardians in hopes that a quick direct line to your parent/guardian will assist in a more rapid method of developing a student centered behavior modification that is centered on a motivation of greater importance to you than getting extra credit for following class rules.
            • Mr. Hickman will bring student into hall to have student call student's parent on their phone
            • Student will have to have GMAP T1 Inappropriate Use Form signed by parent
            • Parent/Guardian Phone Call/Email
              • I love involving parents/guardians on IMPORTANT stuff, this in my mind is only important enough to contact them when I cannot get you to react appropriately. 
              • I hope that both you and your parents/guardians would rather our conversations/calls/emails to be informative on issues related to your successes, how I can help your development as a mathematician and as a person, and how we can help you become better in general as an individuals
              • We/they want you to be a great and independent person
              • You don't like being reminded your current status as a "young adult" or "quasi-adult" right?
              • So act like a real adult and lets keep other adults out of the mix until necessary, proper, and/or a positive celebration of your successes.
            • Referral to AP is not really my way, nor should they have to deal with this mundane task, but if other steps have failed I will refer student to AS INSUBORDINATE not for technology infraction with list of previous failed interventions documented.
              • I will also find the related AP and discuss matter in extreme cases personally in addition to discussing matter with your counselor.
              • Over the course of my over twenty year career, I have taken pride in my ability to save the APs from getting involved with anything but the most serious offenses of student disciplinary code (I might have sent 15 students out of class in over 21 years of teaching for any purpose). 
              • Our APs, your parents/guardians, myself, and your classmates all really have better ways to spend our time than to obsess about this issue, so just get with the program and move on.
      • GROWTH MINDSET
        • GMAP-T1 Inappropriate Technology Use Forms can be found in classroom and on Mr. Hickman's Webpage
        • Some or all of these missing points can be returned by the group and/or individual completing and carrying out a GMAP-T1 Inappropriate Technology Use Form by the End of the week
        • DIRECT LINK to GMAP-T1 Inappropriate Technology Use Forms 

Please Work on Learning Tasks in a Appropriate Manner within Proper Settings/Rules of Activities

  • Before discussing anything else about this class, Mr. Hickman will make a couple of his observations/philosophies made apparent.
    • After teaching for over twenty years/coaching for over fifteen years/being a teenager himself decades ago, some of the easiest truths to state about teenagers/people in general:
      • I cannot MAKE you do ANYTHING,
        • I will ASK to do things all of the time, it is basically a big part of my job as a teacher, but I cannot MAKE you do anything.
        • All I can do if you refuse to complete tasks is to react to your refusal to do so in a manner that I can get you back to the task at hand  as painlessly as I can.
          • ACTION Step 1: Conversation with you
          • ACTION Step 2: Documentation of "Issues" by Mr. Hickman and involved parties
          • ACTION Step 3: GMAP of some sort
            • GMAP = Growth Mindset Action Plan
            • These will be discussed in detail below and in class 
          • ACTION Step 4: Mr. Hickman attempts an intervention with student/parent/guardian/group membership/counselor/Ms.Hood/your AP/your coach
      • Many teenagers/people have real issues with interaction with others
        • I will try my best to help you address these issues and try to make reasonable adjustments to lessen social issues in my class on a case by case basis
      • People can be mean/inconsiderate 
        • INTENTIONAL meanness or lack of consideration will not be tolerated and referrals of this type of behavior will be noted and additional adults will/can/may be consulted by Mr. Hickman to ensure this behavior is minimized and dealt with as soon as he is aware of the issue(s).
        • UNINTENTIONAL sometimes people just need to have an honest conversation about why specific events bother you/them.  I hope no one is truly trying to wound others in classroom setting on purpose, myself included, but sometimes it happens, lets agree to be calm, clear, and thoughtful of others in the ways we interact with each other and work through any inadvertent missteps or an occasional bad day/moment.
      • Communication is the first step in rectifying issues (little or BIG) 
        • I cannot read minds nor do I always interpret non-verbal behavior perfectly, be clear and discuss the matter with me calmly in the proper context, and I will do my level best at trying to help whatever issues that are within my power to fix for the betterment of our class, your development, and our success now and in the future. 
      • It is difficult to make everyone happy all the time, I can only hope to try to make sure you are not miserable all of the time and hope that we can all be happy/ or at least compliant most of the time while in class.

Learn how to work and learn in a group and as a group


Know your ROLES for this class


Picture

  • Organizer
    • TASK/DUTY 1:  Keeping the group together
    • TASK/DUTY 2:  Keeping the group focused on  the problems/learning tasks/activities
    • TASK/DUTY 3: Making sure group membership is not talking to people from outside group unless specifically directed.
    • TASK/DUTY 4: If your group does not have a full roster (all four people present), you will work with Mr. Hickman and your group to divide the tasks of the missing person/role from membership in a equitable manner to ensure Group Tasks can still be accomplished effectively  
    • IF ORGANIZER is absent, then Includer assumes this role and the Includer's tasks are the specific tasks that need to be reassigned to the membership.

Picture

  • Resourcer
    • TASK/DUTY 1: At beginning of class and during transitions you are primary person to acquire resources necessary for activities 
    • TASK/DUTY 2: You are responsible for determining the readiness of the group membership prior to requesting a consultation from Mr. Hickman 
    • TASK/DUTY 3: You are to assist the Includer on keeping absent/missing students from your group aware of work that they have missed and you will assist Mr. Hickman by collecting materials/handouts that they need to get and placing them within BIG BOX of Goodies from your Table
    • While it is your duty to help the class acquire the materials at the beginning of class, it is everyone in the group's responsibility on making sure that the areas that your group has been in and has used have been returned to pristine condition at the end of class 

Picture

  • Understander
    • TASK/DUTY 1: Make sure all ideas are explained to everyone so everyone is happy with them
    • TASK/DUTY 2:
      • If you DON'T understand, then ask whoever that had the idea  
      • If you DO understand, then make sure everyone in the group does also
    • ​TASK/DUTY 3: Make sure that all important parts of your explanation get written down
      • ​It is important to realize that TASK/DUTY 3 does not mean that the UNDERSTANDER is the only person taking notes.
      • This does mean that they will help ensure that notes are taken in a manner that will be useful to Mr. Hickman and could be used as evidence of learning or evidence for the need for more work on a topic or problem.
    • TASK/DUTY 4: Make sure important notes formed while in Group Activities make the Course Specific Notebook/Binder found in Big Box of Goodies

LEARN from your mistakes


  • Includer
    • ​TASK/DUTY 1: Make sure that everyone's ideas are listened to
    • TASK/DUTY 2: Invite other people from your group to make suggestions
    • TASK/DUTY 3: You will be asked to attend meetings with ORGANIZER or UNDERSTANDER on a regular basis to give feedback/contribute to any formal or informal progress reporting
    • TASK/DUTY 4: If your group is short a member because of attendance issues of the membership, logistics of the number of students of class (not all classes with have a class size that is a multiple of 4 each day), or your choice to be in a group with less people because of issues related to anxiety/mental health/personality conflict issues etc. (Mr. Hickman will discuss these type of issues privately with individual students to help make acceptable accommodations/modifications), then you are the replacement for the day and the group will absorb your duties with the direction of the ORGANIZER and approval of Mr. Hickman as necessary 
CARROT/STICK Mentality School of Behavior Modification Plan Item 3
  • CARROT = Quality Completion of Corrections, Creation of a GMAP specific to your needs, and the carrying out of that approved GMAP will result in 5% addition to original total In Progress Grade and any related component grade that is not already at a grade of at least 100
    • Why? Answer: To encourage/reward growth mindset philosophy
  • STICK = Failure to perform Quality Completion of Corrections, Failure to Create/Submit of a GMAP specific to your needs, and the carrying out of that approved GMAP will result in 10% DEDUCTION to original total In Progress Grade
    • ​Why? Answer 1: To encourage/reward growth mindset philosophy
    • Why? Answer 2: Without consequence, the hope for buy in for the entire class is unlikely

  • One of my biggest personal GMAP as a teacher will be to find ways to help students to get past the idea of mathematics requires perfection non-stop.  I have learn probably as much or more about mathematics in the committing of my own errors but most certainly from the analysis of why mathematics errors occur.
  • I will be giving grades on summative assessments in a different fashion to encourage the growth mindset mentality and make the analysis of errors a learning process rather than a condemnation of being less than perfect all of the time.
    • Initial RETURN of summative assessments will be an in-progress grade this grade will be posted in SKYWARD Gradebook and NOT on summative assessment
      • WHY?
        • By taking the grade and eventually the NAMES OFF summative assessments it is my hope that students will be able to focus on the matters that are important, what you know now and what you don't know YET!, and the quality of your support and methods of support
        • Famous and Infuriating Quote from Mr. Hickman
          • "I do not care what your grade is and I never have!"     
          • I only care what you know and what you will still know and what I can show you so that you retain and develop current and future mathematics knowledge, process, and vocabulary.
          • Unfortunately, grades (the numbers/percentages at the top of the page) are the only things that matter to some.
          • If you take care of what you know and grow, typically that number at the top of the page is appropriate and fair in most cases.
    • I will post final grades on ALL summative assessments (some forms of formative assessments) after error analysis 
    • I will expect ALL students to perform GMAP after every summative assessments
      • What if I get 100?  (You have not received a final grade on a summative assessment on the initial return of summative, so technically you have not earn a 100 YET!)
        • Students with an in-progress grade of 100 will get three options to receive points on GMAP related to summative assessment
          • OPTION A = Student with 100 finds or gets a peer to work with to help them on their less than 100 summative assessment corrections/GMAP
          • OPTION B = Student with an in-progress grade of 100 can choose to develop an enrichment task extension to challenge student with 100 to reach an even higher level of mastery
          • OPTION C = For the truly AWESOME both OPTION A and OPTION B
    • We will develop a non-threatening way to display student work that guarantees anonymity that will allow for scans/posting of assessments, practice, and group work so that the class and the individual can learn from mistakes in a safe and healthy manner

Here are some cool graphs that will help show graphically what that previous section is implying

IN PROGRESS Grade (OLD way to grade)

RAW Score Grading DESMOS LINK
  • DESMOS LINK
  • this is the black piecewise graph by itself

IN PROGRESS Grade with EC SEL (OLD way to grade)

RAW Score plus variable SEL grade for EC 
  • ​DESMOS LINK
  • RAW = black piecewise graph
  • GREEN = green moving piecewise graph with variable SEL EC awarded

IN PROGRESS Grade with EC SEL and Growth Mindset applied (NEW way to grade)

RAW Score plus variable SEL grade for EC plus GMAP applied
  • ​DESMOS LINK
  • RAW = black piecewise graph
  • BLUE = blue moving piecewise graph with variable SEL EC awarded and GMAP impact
    • CARROT = quality corrections/completion of GMAP for this summative assessment will earn up to 5% additional credit on TOTAL summative assessment grade and will cause adjustment to component grades that have improved
    • STICK = failing to do quality corrections/ or completion of GMAP for this summative assessment will cause a 10% DEDUCTION on TOTAL summative assessment grade (component grades will not be impacted)

IN PROGRESS Grade with EC SEL and Growth Mindset applied  and Enrichment applied (NEW way to grade) this will probably only apply to the people scoring nearly perfect scores initially on summative assessments

RAW Score plus variable SEL grade for EC plus GMAP plus enrichment applied
  • ​DESMOS LINK
  • RAW = black piecewise graph
  • YELLOW = yellow moving piecewise graph with variable SEL EC awarded and GMAP impact and Enrichment applied
    • CARROT = quality corrections/completion of GMAP for this summative assessment will earn up to 5% additional credit on TOTAL summative assessment grade and will cause adjustment to component grades that have improved
    • STICK = failing to do quality corrections/ or completion of GMAP for this summative assessment will cause a 10% DEDUCTION on TOTAL summative assessment grade (component grades will not be impacted)

    • ​Teacher Generated Rubric
    • Students will discuss Graded Rubrics in Jigsaw Groups, in groups, and with Mr. Hickman

Examples of Four Types of GMAP that will be used in classes 


Picture
GMAP-A = What are the academic goals for this time frame?
  • This will be the CODE I use in the gradebook and on my webpage for GMAP related to ACADEMICS
  • Typically, unless truly new material, we will take a paper and pencil poll and a digital poll about a topic prior to the development of a GMAP of any type.
  • Mr. Hickman will use this data to help formulate plans for instruction, prepare digital materials, formative and summative assessments based on class, group, and individual academic needs
  • Students will be required to complete a form related to the general goals initially, with more specific goals later
    • If students are honest and timely any "grade" associated with this will be one or more of the following:
      • Either no count in grade book or used as a manner to help a student to see progress
        • Students will be asked/and or required to resubmit GMAP-A when mastery has YET to be attained
      • If graded, then student is allowed to evaluate at a later date if growth has been shown and evidence that supports this is present.
  • These are also used as methods of academic interventions and some students may not receive a grade on a goal because they have shown the mastery and got summative credit already
GMAP-A "GOAL"
  • This is a more specific Academic Goal 
  • "Goal" will have a better title like "Connections between Pythagorean Theorem, Triangle Inequality, and the Radical", but this will not fit on Skyward within gradebook assignment name.
    • IN gradebook GMAP-A PY TH to Radical with a specific list of goals or a link to this webpage will be provided if Mr. Hickman can keep up with his digital intentions

Picture
GMAP-B = What are the behavioral goals for this time frame?
  • Example of GMAP- B "TOPIC"
  • GMAP- B "QUIZIZZ Polling"
    • Student and teacher have worked on developing the system/procedure in class about polling.
    • Students can quickly use phone, laptop, or in-class computer to complete polling
    • Students can transition from polling to group discussion effectively and resume PHONE JAIL Policies without prompting

Picture
GMAP-T1 = What are the inappropriate use of technology goals for this time frame?
  • Technology is a slippery slope for some students.
    • ​For some students they cannot be trusted to self police phone usage.
  • ​Example of GMAP-T1 "Topic"
  • GMAP- T1 "PHONE JAIL"
    • ​This unfortunately will be issued as an invention and a method of record keeping of progress in fixing this issue
      • ​Student has consistently disregarded Cell Phone Use Policy on 8/10, 8/12, 8/15/
        • ​GMAP -T1 PJ requested from EP (Elvis Presley, Engelberg Pumperdinkel, etc)
        • 8/22/22 Did not Receive GMAP -T1 PJ
        • 8/23/22 Did Receive GMAP -T1 PJ
        • 8/30/22 GMAP-T! PJ-1 completed and accepted 
  • Second Example of GMAP-T1 "Topic"
  • GMAP- T1 "Justification"
    • Student produced ANSWERS only for complex task that required a calculator, but failed to support digital work with process steps required by directions
      • ​GMAP -T1 Justification requested from JJ (Janis Joplin, James Jamison, etc) on 8/13/22
      • 8/15/22 Did Receive GMAP -T1 Justification
      • 8/30/22 GMAP-T! PJ-1 completed and not accepted
