[Ohiogift] Final Spring Webinar: Assessment and Grading Issues and Gifted Learners

[Croft, Laurie J]

Please join us for a Webinar to consider issues of assessing and grading gifted learners, including content from Wormeli's book:  Grading for Gifted Learners: Fair Isn't Always Equal


The National Association for Gifted Children has provided national standards for Pre-K through Grade 12 Programming Standards in Gifted Education. Standard 2, Assessment, notes that "Students with gifts and talents demonstrate advanced and complex learning as a result of using multiple, appropriate, and ongoing assessments." Pre-, formative, and post-assessments are all important when providing appropriate programming for high-ability learners, but as Rick Wormeli has noted: "Differentiated instruction is a nice idea, but what happens when it comes to assessing and grading students? What's both fair and leads to real student learning?"


Date:              April 9, 2015 (if the date or time aren't convenient, you can choose the "DVD option!")
Time:              4:30 - 6:00 pm
Cost:              $45 per computer (multiple participants may watch one computer)
Presenter:    Dr. Laurie Croft, Clinical Associate Professor and Associate Director for Professional Development, Belin-Blank Center

If the date/time doesn't work for you, you can register for the DVD option, and receive the DVD after the Webinar.  The cost remains $45.  If you prefer to both participate in the Webinar AND receive the DVD, the cost is only $55.

Following the Webinar, one credit hour is available through an online workshop focusing on readings from Wormeli's book, Fair Isn't Always Equal (required for the credit option).  The Belin-Blank Center provides an automatic tuition scholarship for 50% of the cost for the credit.
