Teacher Directions for Implementing Learning Contract 1) Pre-assess students on indicators for the “Data Analysis” Unit. 2) Identify and document students who have demonstrated “mastery” on each indicator/section. Recommendation: Mastery = 85%. 3) Copy and prepare a contract for each compacted student. On learning activities chart, indicate section(s) where the student has demonstrated mastery. Reminder: Compacted students will be excused from large group instruction for these sections. During this time, students will complete the alternative learning activities as indicated in the chart. 4) Based on the areas of student mastery, prepare copies of enrichment materials from the Glencoe teacher resource kits. 5) Since compacted students have demonstrated mastery on specific indicators, they should be excused from the class work and homework related to teacher-directed instruction on those indicators. Instead, grades for compacted students should be based on the alternative learning activities. Management Tips Store worksheets and/or stapled packets in labeled folders for each section. Copy on cardstock and/or laminate the worksheets that may be reused. The Science and Math Labs require the preparation of materials and workspace. Consider recruiting a resource teacher, mentor or other responsible volunteer to work with compacted students for these investigations.

Expectations: Student Work: Participate in whole group instruction when indicated by pre-assessment. Complete alternative learning activities when previous mastery has been demonstrated. Show work (or setup of work) for each problem. Use a calculator only when indicated in the directions. Answer all written responses in complete sentences and support with examples. Seek assistance from teacher, as needed, when direct instruction is not being provided. Student Behavior: Remain on task at all times. Use 6” voices at all times.
Learning Activities: See the chart on the back of this contract for the required learning activities based on the section(s) where you have demonstrated “mastery.” Select one of the alternative activities from the approved list below the chart after you complete the required learning activities.
Assessment: For this unit, your successful completion of the indicated alternative learning activities will replace the grades for class work and/or homework.
