The Kentucky Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Education is providing a limited number of registration scholarships for educators to participate in summer professional development in gifted education. One of these is the KAGE Summer Workshop. Applications are due by May 23, 2008 (but are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis). Click here for a copy of the scholarship applications.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Differentiation is the logical answer to assuring maximum student achievement. The unique challenges in assuring that the needs of all students are met can be addressed through an array of practical strategies and the rich palate of differentiated options. Examination of acceleration, independent study, counseling components, and underachievement will frame the day. Participants will find themselves immersed in activities to personalize strategies for their individual instructional environment. Educators are encouraged to bring content resources in order to develop differentiated materials that can be used immediately.
EILA CREDIT AVAILABLE.
