REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES A COPY OF THE BOOK, ASSESSING DIFFERENTIATED STUDENT PRODUCTS: A PROTOCOL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION

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 15, 2009 (but are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis). Click here for a copy of the scholarship applications.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
How do you engage students in high level learning? One powerful (yet easy!) way is to vary products. How, then, do you authentically assess those multiple products without losing your mind? Use a protocol, a standard that ensures ease, consistency, and clarity. The Developing and Assessing Product (DAP) Tool simplifies the assessment process, guides students in product development, encourages differentiation, and takes the ceiling off learning. With consistent components and vocabulary, innovative scale, and varying tiers with different levels of expectation based on student preassessment, the DAP Tool may just be the answer you're looking for.
