Description:

Improve Your Data Literacy to Inform Instruction for Advanced Learners K-12

Are advanced learners in your classroom or school growing at an appropriate rate and how do you know? Does student readiness for instruction align with placement in enrichment or accelerated services?  Are programs having the desired effect?  

Accurate measurement of readiness and learning is important for all students, but typical grade-level assessments and reports are not used effectively or may not provide enough information to optimize instruction for advanced learning. Students who meet or exceed grade-level standards often look “fine” in school accountability systems even when they are not growing at a rate commensurate with ability.  

This workshop for educators and school administrators, led by Northwestern Center for Talent Development Assessment Coordinator Melissa Hinshaw, will explore differentiated assessment approaches and data practices for informing classroom instruction; making decisions about services, including enrichment, and acceleration; and measuring growth for advanced learners.   

Bring your data and your questions to this interactive workshop, and leave with the knowledge and resources to ensure your students can maximize their potential.
