1. Meet multiple times with the G/T pullout teacher (Hicks) to determine acquired learning taking place within the pullout program. Determine if there is a sufficient difference in these students’ work performance when they are outside the general education classroom. | Myself Melissa Hicks | September - December | Student samples from the pullout setting and student work samples from within the classroom | I will compare student samples from within the classroom to student samples from within the G/T pullout classroom. |
2. Access data to determine why (if any) there is a difference in work performance when the g/t students are in a general education classroom versus a gifted class. While researching I would also like to find effective assessments to give my gifted learners to test the effectiveness of their learning environment. | Myself | October- January | Data, assessment techniques for acquiring the level of learning obtained in class versus the level of learning taking place in the g/t setting. | I will perform the acquired assessment on the students and hopefully determine the best learning environment for them. |
3. Use strategies and resources to make my gifted learners rise to their ability levels and perform at a higher standard | Myself | January-May | Assessment tools and resources through research | End of course exams, data proven assessments, conferencing, standardized test scores, universal screenings. |
I like your activities. In your last one you mentioned using strategies to reach their ability levels. Have you thought of allowing them to complete an activity using their multiple intelligences?
ReplyDeleteChristine's idea is excellent. A couple of my GT students thrive off having that freedom. I'm sure you have had a lot of training on instructional strategies with GT students, but you might look at researching ones you could use for some of these students.
