The KOI
increases teachers' effectiveness in identifying and
differentiating instruction for the students with gifted
potentials by:
- Clarifying
students' response patterns to look for over
time;
- Providing
an ongoing series of enriched learning opportunities to
all students that elicit advanced potentials;
and
- Implementing
standards for observations and student products that
document teachers' insights about their students to other
educators.
This process
helps to immediately initiate appropriate differentiation in
the classroom for students whose learning responses exceed
the expectations of the core curriculum.
The KOI has
been successfully implemented to identify gifted and
talented behaviors in children for over 10 years in almost
every state in America and several other countries,
including Australia, Canada, and Mexico. It is celebrated
for its ability to identify gifted potentials in minority
students and students from poverty who are frequently
difficult to identify through standardized tests. It is
valued by educators for its effectiveness and
efficiency.
An
easy-to-use assessment and differentiation process, the KOI
enables you to enrich the learning environment for all
children while identifying gifted and talented students
through seven categories of observable behavior. Expanded
into a K-3 and 4-8 level, this book provides for each:
multiple differentiation activities, the KOI forms, Parent
Information Forms, procedures and interpretations of the
process, successful techniques, and answers to the 14 most
frequently posed questions. Included are:
- Over
55 classroom activities
correlated to the KOI categories;
- Over
25 reproducible forms
to integrate into your curriculum;
- Over
190 literature
activities
correlated to the KOI categories; and an
- Annotated
bibliography of over 175 children and young adult
literature publications
correlated to the KOI categories.
