Dissemination_Plan

The purpose of this assignment is to tell how we will use the knowledge gained throughout the other assignments to change something within our classroom, grade level, school, or district.
====I chose to look at this as an opportunity to revamp our "Study Island" class at my school for one unit. While Study Island is a great program, it is not something we prefer to use for our 6th graders. Therefore, we want to provide the Study Island teacher with ways to help us with these struggling students in our classrooms. In order to better help these students with fractions, my plan is to do three things:====
 * create a comprehensive list of worthwhile fraction activities that will help students develop rational number sense
 * interview selected students within that class yearly to determine what these students are struggling with and what concepts they understand
 * provide the study island teacher with a fraction and rational numbers unit to be taught prior to fraction instruction within the regular education setting

Attached is a powerpoint that details who is involved, what research is used, and the general idea of the unit plan.
