KEYNOTES
Differentiation:
Simplified, Realistic, and Effective
Educators increase expertise in differentiating instruction
and prioritize a sequence for implementing
differentiation.
Translating Research into
Effective Practice
Through a humorous yet thoughtful approach, this session
examines current research influencing advanced and gifted
students' achievement and teachers' instructional
effectiveness in mixed-ability classrooms.
Instructional Strategies
that Work
Research documents which instructional strategies increase
achievement. Let's translate those strategies into effective
instructional techniques that increase student achievement
while remaining both realistic and practical for
teachers.
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:
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.
Great Books Are My
Favorite Teaching Tools, Grades K-6
This session is filled with new and 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 gifted students'
achievement.
Integrating Creative
Thinking and Problem Solving:
Grades K-8
Students of all ages and diverse backgrounds learn and
retain information best when they are actively involved in
problem solving. The challenge is how to incorporate
significant content and skills into creative learning
opportunities for students. In this session, participants
experience applications that invite content complexity,
integrate basic skills, and minimize teacher preparation by
increasing students' responsibilities.
Integrating High-Order
Thinking: Strategies that Work! Grades K-8
Strategies that work are research-based, increase gifted
achievement, integrate with learning standards, and
facilitate differentiation. This fast-paced session is a
response to teachers' requests for simple-to-implement
strategies using graphic organizers, active engagement, and
tiered thinking prompts that 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. Techniques are
demonstrated for high-order thinking, vocabulary
development, and the integration of standards and skills
across multiple content areas.
Language Arts Centers in
Minutes: Grades
K-4
Learning stations provide engaging opportunities for
children to practice and extend their development of
language arts skills. This session provides strategies to
organize, manage, and differentiate centers without
overwhelming teachers! Practical techniques demonstrate
assessment and multiple time-saving literacy stations that
increase students' self-esteem, responsibility,
organization, and achievement.
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 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.
Strategies that Grow
Gifted Potential, Grades K-4
Our instructional goal is to address the learning rates and
levels of young advanced minds through research-based
strategies that appropriately stimulate achievement. This
session presents new applications that are realistic and
practical for teachers while promoting high-level thinking,
complexity, and depth using wonderful books, inexpensive
materials, and graphic organizers.
Teaching Without
Nonsense: Translating Research into Practice, Grades
K-12
This session translates achievement research into realistic
and practical strategies for differentiating instruction.
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.

Practice, 2nd ed.
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.
