Passion: 20 Ready-to-Use Strategies
This humorous and practical session translates achievement
research into realistic and effective strategies for
mixed-ability classrooms. The emphasis is on learning
experiences that work with multiple topics and incorporate
targeted concepts and skills so less intensive teacher
preparation results in long-term learning and higher student
achievement.
BREAKOUTS
OR ALL-DAY SESSIONS
Beyond the Basal:
Challenging Strategies for Advanced Readers, Grades
K-6
This presentation shares research-based language arts
strategies and models how to implement those strategies with
advanced readers while directing instruction with others.
Engage in preparation-friendly strategies, graphic
organizers, high-level thinking tasks, and specific books
that appropriately challenge advanced readers toward complex
thinking and in-depth content.
Differentiation 101:
Grades K-12
This fast-paced session helps gifted educators increase
colleagues' and parents' understanding of differentiation
strategies and how to customize instruction to the
capabilities of gifted learners. Multiple resources provide
a means to ensure continued communication among educators
and parents.
Differentiation:
Simplified, Realistic, and Effective: Grades K-12
This practical session demonstrates a realistic approach
to differentiation that promotes students' achievement with
less intensive time and labor for teachers. Educators
increase expertise in differentiation strategies as they
learn to prioritize a sequence for implementing
differentiation. Simple-to-use strategies, activities, and
materials are modeled that challenge students, increase
active participation, document state learning standards, and
transfer to multiple content areas.
Differentiating
Instruction for Gifted Students in Mixed-Ability
Classrooms: Grades
K-8
This session matches differentiation strategies to the
learning needs of advanced students and models specific
techniques to lift students' accomplishments through
abstract thinking, complexity, and content depth. The
techniques require less intensive teacher preparation and
simplify management issues as they develop advanced
students' independence and responsibility for continued
learning.
Integrating High-Order
Thinking Strategies: Grades K-12
Engaging and effective high-order thinking strategies are
research-based, elevate achievement, integrate with learning
standards, and facilitate the differentiation of
instruction. This fast-paced session is a response to
teachers' requests for simple-to-implement strategies that
promote long-term learning using graphic organizers, active
engagement, and tiered thinking prompts to apply learning
standards in multiple contents and grade levels.
Just What I Need!
Learning Experiences with Multiple
Applications: Grades
K-8
Save instruction time, incorporate standards, and
increase student achievement using learning experiences with
multiple applications. This practical session invites
participants to select from a repertoire of modeled
strategies and activities that encourage student excellence
while minimizing teachers' preparation time. Dr. Kingore
demonstrates techniques for high-order thinking, advanced
vocabulary development, and the integration of content with
standards and skills at and beyond grade level.
Reaching All Learners:
Making Differentiation Work, Grades K-8
The reality is that when students represent different levels
of readiness, different levels of instruction are needed. In
this practical session of research-based strategies,
teachers engage in learning experiences and support systems
that vary lessons for students with fewer skills, vary
lessons to increase challenge, and more efficiently provide
product options to reach diverse learners. Dr. Kingore
models successful guidelines to effectively manage the
learning environment and a teaching palette of multiple
strategies and activities for differentiating
instruction.
Recognizing Gifted
Potential: Identifying
Gifted Behaviors in Elementary Children, Grades K-6
Developmentally appropriate identification of children
and under-represented populations is a significant issue.
This session highlights features of the Kingore Observation
Inventory (KOI) and planned experiences that provide ongoing
high-level learning opportunities for all students and
identify gifted potential. Participants learn current
research results, procedures, and applications from a
three-year study using these procedures that significantly
increased gifted representation of children of diversity and
low SES in high-poverty districts. Participants engage in
newly-developed planned experiences eliciting gifted
behaviors, partake in an identification simulation,
interpret data with a rubric, and experiences communicating
results with parents.
Recognizing and Nurturing
Gifted Potential: Grades
K-8
This session focuses on features of the Kingore
Observation Inventory (KOI) that guide identification of
gifted potential by 1) clarifying learning patterns to
observe over time, 2) providing ongoing high-level learning
opportunities for all students to reveal potentials, and 3)
initiating a standard that documents teachers' insights
about their students. The system enables teachers to
immediately initiate appropriate differentiation and
effectively communicate with parents.
Teaching Without
Nonsense: Translating Research into Practice, Grades
K-12
This session translates achievement research into realistic
and practical strategies for differentiating instruction and
classroom management. The emphasis is on learning
experiences that work with multiple topics and incorporate
targeted concepts and skills so less intensive teacher
preparation results in multiple applications and higher
student achievement. This session includes quick assessment
techniques that work when you only have a minute.
Tiered Centers in
Minutes: Grades K-6
Tiered centers respond to the diverse learning profiles
and instructional needs of all students in mixed-ability
classrooms. This session provides strategies to develop work
stations that differentiate the complexity of learning tasks
without overwhelming teachers! Demonstrations of standards
alignment, management systems, and simple techniques for
tiering centers enable teachers to confidently implement
tiered centers that are ready in minutes.
Tiering Instruction,
Assessing Achievement: Grades K-8
Research-based decisions for tiering instruction and
assessing achievement minimize preparation intensity and
maximize high-level learning opportunities. This session
explores practical strategies that enable tiered instruction
and assessment to work in tandem to promote advanced
achievement. The modeled applications enable teachers to
tier instruction to match student capabilities and seamlesly
incorporate assessment techniques.
Wonderful Books Are My
Favorite Teaching Tools, Grades K-6
This session is filled with innovative ideas incorporating
splendid books that provide skilled teachers with the power
to stimulate intellectual curiosity while applying a
plethora of concepts and skills. Let's make teaching fun
again as we use research-based strategies and great books to
increase students' achievement.
