- REVIEW: DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES
- UTILIZATION:
THINK LIKE A DISCIPLINARIAN - IMPLEMENTATION: MAKE-and-TAKE
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
With time constraints, the amount of material to cover, pacing, and class sizes, a successful academic experience in honors, I.B., or A.P. courses is a daunting challenge for students AND for teachers.
This GATE training will address these challenges with differentiation strategies (elements of depth and complexity, content imperatives), the TLAD pathway, and SMART classroom technology.
Key Questions:
- How can GATE differentiation strategies help students navigate through the rigor and demands of high-level courses?
- How can these differentiation strategies enhance the delivery of curriculum for teachers?
- What cognitive constructs and activities can be “layered” upon the existing curriculum without inhibiting or interfering with the course scope, sequence, and pacing for teachers?
WORKSHOP EXPECTATIONS:
In meeting the California Standards for the Teaching Profession, the goal of this GATE training is to:
- become familiar with the
instructional applications and possibilities of differentiation strategies
(elements of depth and complexity, content imperatives) - utilize Think Like a Disciplinarian (Historian, Sociologist, Mathematician, Psychologist, Biologist, etc.) as a vehicle to expertise for students enrolled in A.P., I.B., or honors courses
- plan, practice, revise, and/or implement (“Make-and-Take”) a unit of study using differentiation strategies

How do your students act and perform when the answers to problems and questions are not immediately known? Moreover, are they able to abound in real-life problem-solving outside of the controlled environment that is the classroom?
The goals of Art Costa’s Habits of Mind are “enhancing the ways students produce knowledge rather than how they merely reproduce it…not only having information but also knowing how to act on it.” Find out what “behaviors” help students become effective and efficient thinkers and peak performers. This session will draw upon and extend Dr. Sandra Kaplan's Scholarliness while utilizing Art Costa's Habits of Mind in order to enable students to consistently and authentically thrive in all walks of life—in and outside of the classroom.

POTENT POTENTIAL POETRY
“Poetry Literature Circles”

OCC GATE Conference 2009: “Riding the Wave of Change”
English Strand 4-12
UC Irvine, SSL 270
The true impact of poetry is an uncommon reality in the language arts classroom where prose has dominance. To complicate matters, helping students navigate through analysis of poetry can be like Jack Sparrow in a Pirates of the Caribbean adventure: exhilarating and treacherous at the same time.
Poetry’s truest potential, that which challenges the reader to authentic heights in language, thought, and creativity, can become a reality in the classroom through a modified version of literature circles. Utilizing content imperatives along with details, rules, big ideas, patterns, and trends, find out how students and teachers can explicate, connect, and respond to poetry.
