What does this have to do with the GIEP?

Three Types of Learning
• Transfer by applying and adapting what has been learned to new situations.
• Meaning or making sense of the content and its Implications. Meaning is made, not taught.
• Acquisition of facts and skills with the goal of automaticity or fluency
Wiggins and McTighe (2011)
Level One: Acquisition
Level Two: Making Meaning
Level 3: Transfer
Levels of Learning
(Adapted From Marzano: ASCD, 1992)
Three Types of Teaching
Coaching assist attempts to transfer learning to new situations through ongoing assessment, feedback in context of authentic application, conferencing and prompting self-assessments and reflection.
Facilitation leads to the construction of meaningthrough analogies, questioning (open-ended), inquiry oriented approaches, problem-based learning, etc.
Explicit Instruction involves teaching the acquisition of facts and skills through demonstration, modeling, lecture, convergent questioning, guided practice with immediate corrective feedback.
Wiggins and McTighe (2011)
Levels of Teaching
(Adapted From Marzano: ASCD, 1992)
Level One: Explicit Instruction
Level Two: Facilitation
Level 3: Coaching
When Facilitating/Coaching Consider…
Complex skills required to live and thrive in a 21st century global

What are my responsibilities?
Acquaint yourself with the types of acceleration
Monitor progress in advanced level course
Support enrichment in accelerated class/grade– if it is written into the GIEP
Summarize performance for present levels of educational performance
What are my responsibilities?
Each group will take one or two of the acceleration options and craft a brief list of what the group thinks a gifted support case manager’s responsibilities might be.
We will do one together.
Steps to Compaction
Identify K-U-D
Pre-Assess
Develop Alternative Options: Extension Menu, Web Quest, Independent Research, Pursue
Competition, etc.

Where we came from…
Can you meet with each teacher and reassure them that you are ultimately responsible for the students meeting the GIEP goals?
The answer…
It’s all hands in!!
Gifted Support Teacher
General Classroom Teacher(s)
Parents
Principal
Psychologist
Counselor
Superintendent
Before….
Separate curriculum, not aligned to State Standards
Isolated pull-out service delivery for students with GIEP’s only
Based on Program not Plan (GIEP)
Little or no collaboration or shared ownership
Low accountability for differentiation in Core (generic SDI that was universally listed)
Turn to your Neighbor…
How could an RtII approach improve the quality of services we offer to our students? Post comments on Edmodo
How would general education teachers respond?
I can’t do that… Too many kids, not enough materials, too large of a range,
etc…
I don’t have time to do that… Too much on my plate, too many responsibilities
I don’t know how to do that… I am not a gifted support teacher, the student knows more
than I do, compaction? Enrichment?
I already do that… Let’s get into those classrooms and get some strong models
going…or uncover mis-conceptions
Honor the Teachers
Recognize what they bring to the table…
What would you observe and/or hear (from the teachers or from the students) that would make it clear you are in the presence of the kind of teacher who is best suited for gifted students?
What kind of teacher is best for a gifted student?
Intelligent
High Degree of Intellectual honesty
Expertise in a specific academic area
Genuine Interest in and liking of gifted learners
Recognizes the importance of intellectual development
From Karen Rodgers, Re-forming Gifted Education
Strong belief in individual differences/individualization
Highly developed teaching skill/knowledge of how to teach
Self-directed learner with a love for new, advanced knowledge
Level headed and emotionally stable
From Karen Rodgers, Re-forming Gifted Education
What kind of teacher is best for a gifted student?
Changing Role of Gifted Support
Move from provider of direct service, Case Manager “Gifted Once a cycle” for x minutes
“Gifted Class” or “Gifted Seminar”
“Gifted Program”
To Facilitator, Coach, Case ManagerEfficacy with a case load of 65

Where to start…
Behavior
Content Knowledge
Direct Instruction
Formative Assessment
Behavior
Behavior – if it is the behavior of the student that is preventing the learning to occur, then helping the teacher understand some of the motivation behind why gifted students behave the way they do.
Partner group –
Brainstorm Negative Behaviors
Brainstorm root cause and potential solution
Post on Edmodo
Content
Content Knowledge – Impossible to know the content of all the grades and all of the subjects in the building you serve, so allow yourself to be guided by the strengths of the students
Enrichment Ideas
Resources – Articles, Websites, Events, Activities related to the content, increased complexity
Direct Instruction
Direct Instruction – Differentiated Instruction
Enrichment/Acceleration
Goal area/ short term learning outcome from the GIEP
Evidenced Content Strength
Formative Assessment
Formative Assessment
Tools for the teacher to guide instruction
Pre-assessment
Checks for understanding
Help students see the relationship between their efforts and success
Why do people Change?
Csikszentmihalyi’s Theory –
“Changes that people embrace usually have two qualities: they are more powerful than older technologies and they are easier to use.”
“Ideas, Values technologies that do the job with the least demand on psychic energy will survive”
Reflect
Back to the classrooms you have been in…Where would you see a likely place to start?
