NAGC 2017 National Conference by Elizabeth Henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz Session Resources en-us 2017-11-11 23:30:32 UTC 2026-02-27 19:33:57 UTC hello@padlet.com In this session, participants learn instructional strategies to develop rigorous math questions. We evaluate questions and explore ways Sandra Kaplan's Icons of Depth and Complexity can increase the rigor. Participants collaborate to create rigorous math questions using the Icons of Depth and Complexity. When used intentionally in the classroom, these strategies encourage student discourse, provide challenge, extend thinking, and provide a platform for students to take an academic risk while having their unique needs met. Resources shared during this session can be immediately utilized as tools for professional development, collaborative planning, and classroom instruction. elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205930787 2017-11-11 23:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205930787 Session Presentation elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205930908 Click here for session presentation]]> 2017-11-11 23:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205930908 Google Resource Folder elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205931826 Click here for resources

In this session, we will explore how Hilda Taba’s research-based teaching models connect all areas of curriculum for gifted learners. Both experienced and new-to-Taba teachers will learn Taba strategies, see examples of how students learn through concepts, and view real-life examples of student products. Participants will also take away “concept activities” to use with students right away! elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933159 2017-11-12 00:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933159 How can technology facilitate and enhance creative opportunities for students who are gifted in technology rich or one-to-one classroom environments? In this session we draw on research on creativity and growth mindset to discuss conditions conducive to fostering creativity in the classroom. We present innovative uses of technology to promote creative thinking among gifted students and to facilitate collaborative problem solving among gifted students and their peers in the classroom, across classrooms, and around the world. elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933624 2017-11-12 00:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933624 Middle school students are savvier than ever, and lighting their intellectual fire in the classroom is always on the gifted teacher’s agenda. Whether you are a novice or experienced educator, this presentation on summative assessment menus will help your students produce the best work possible in the gifted middle school classroom. Summative menus offer greater flexibility for both the student and teacher; when properly designed and implemented, they maintain accountability as well as interest for gifted learners. elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933670 2017-11-12 01:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933670 Session Notes elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933730 Click here for session notes from presenter.]]> 2017-11-12 01:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933730 What happens when you give students 20% of class time to investigate self-selected topics of interest? A passion-filled classroom in which creativity and critical thinking form the foundation for success. In this session, learn about what it takes to create an atmosphere where students work in a state of flow, where they are fully engaged and challenge themselves to learn as much as they can. Guided by rich questions, conferences, mini-lessons, discussions, and time with mentors, students delve into their topics and create final products to share with the world. elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933823 2017-11-12 01:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933823 High-quality instruction never grows old! Hilda Taba’s questioning strategies retain their currency because thoughtful, rigorous classroom discussion never goes out of style. Indeed, new Common Core guidelines requiring meaningful discussion and rigorous critical thinking make these strategies contemporary once again. Taba’s Interpretation of Data strategy is particularly useful, engaging students in detailed, evidence-based discussion of cause and effect relationships with only a whiteboard and some markers. Participants will review the basics of good questioning, analyze the structure of an Interpretation of Data lesson, learn tips for success, and discuss Cognitive Maps as a tool for lesson planning. elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933867 2017-11-12 01:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933867 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933925 Click here for Live Binder]]> 2017-11-12 01:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205933925 Session Presentation elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/205935042 Dr. Gallagher is a GURU of Gifted Education.

What skills will be most valuable in the future? But, advancements in educational technology and rising interest in “authentic” learning raise a new question: Where? What setting best supports powerful experiences around a particular set of learning goals? Leaders of innovative online, field-based experiential, and hybrid education programs for gifted students identify unique opportunities and challenges inherent in each delivery model. We share effective practices to guide K-12 educators in creating classroom, online, and field experiences to match “content” and “context” in the coming blended landscape of gifted education.]]> 2017-12-13 18:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/215924895 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/215950883 Click here for session notes.]]> 2017-12-13 19:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/215950883 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216030803 Click here for attendee notes.]]> 2017-12-14 02:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216030803 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216032349 Click here for attendee notes.]]> 2017-12-14 03:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216032349 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216121463 Click here for attendee notes.]]> 2017-12-14 12:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216121463 elizabeth_henley https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216178206 Click here for attendee notes.]]> 2017-12-14 15:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_henley/8kzxocwbebpz/wish/216178206
