KEYNOTES
Differentiation:
Simplified, Realistic, and
Effective
Educators increase expertise in
differentiating instruction and prioritize
a sequence for implementing
differentiation.
Translating
Research into Effective Practice
Through a humorous yet thoughtful
approach, this session examines current
research influencing advanced and gifted
students' achievement and teachers'
instructional effectiveness in
mixed-ability classrooms.
Instructional
Strategies that Work
Research documents which instructional
strategies increase achievement. Let's
translate those strategies into effective
instructional techniques that increase
student achievement while remaining both
realistic and practical for
teachers.

OR ALL-DAY SESSIONS
Beyond
the Basal: Challenging Strategies for
Advanced readers, Grades K-6
This presentation shares research-based
language arts strategies and models how to
implement those strategies with advanced
readers while directing instruction with
others. Engage in preparation-friendly
strategies, graphic organizers, high-level
thinking tasks, and specific books that

toward complex thinking and in-depth
content.
Great
Books Are My Favorite teaching Tools,
Grades K-6
This session is filled with new and
innovative ideas incorporating splendid
books that provide skilled teachers with
the power to stimulate intellectual
curiosity while applying a plethora of

fun again as we use research-based
strategies and great books to increase
gifted students' achievement.
Integrating
High-Order Thinking: Strategies that Work!
Grades K-8
Strategies that work are research-based,
increase gifted achievement, integrate
with learning standards, and facilitate
differentiation. This fast-paced session
is a response to teachers' requests for
simple-to-implement strategies using
graphic organizers, active engagement, and
tiered thinking prompts that apply
learning standards in multiple contents
and grade levels.
Reaching
All Learners: Making Differentiation Work,
Grades K-8
The reality is that when students
represent different levels of readiness,
different levels of instruction are
needed. In this practical session of
research-based strategies, teachers engage
in learning experiences and support
systems that vary lessons for students
with fewer skills, vary lessons to
increase challenge, and more efficiently
provide product options to reach diverse
learners. Dr. Kingore models successful
guidelines to effectively manage the
learning environment and a teaching
palette of multiple strategies and
activities for differentiating
instruction.
Strategies
that Grow Gifted Potential, Grades
K-4
Our instructional goal is to address the
learning rates and levels of young
advanced minds through research-based
strategies that appropriately stimulate
achievement. This session presents new
applications that are realistic and
practical for teachers while promoting
high-level thinking, complexity, and depth
using wonderful books, inexpensive
materials, and graphic
organizers.
Teaching
Without Nonsense: Translating Research
into Practice, Grades K-12
This session translates achievement
research into realistic and practical
strategies for differentiating
instruction. The emphasis is on learning
experiences that work with multiple topics
and incorporate targeted concepts and
skills so less intensive teacher
preparation results in multiple
applications and higher student
achievement.

and achievement.
Tiered
Centers in Minutes: Grades K-6
Tiered centers respond to the diverse
learning profiles and instructional needs
of all students in mixed-ability
classrooms. This session provides
strategies to develop work stations that
differentiate the complexity of learning
tasks without overwhelming teachers!
Demonstrations of standards alignment,
management systems, and simple techniques
for tiering centers enable teachers to
confidently implement tiered centers that
are ready in minutes.
Integrating
Creative Thinking and Problem
Solving:
Grades
K-8
Students of all ages and diverse
backgrounds learn and retain information
best when they are actively involved in
problem solving. The challenge is how to
incorporate significant content and skills
into creative learning opportunities for
students. In this session, participants
experience applications that invite
content complexity, integrate basic
skills, and minimize teacher preparation
by increasing students'
responsibilities.
Differentiation:
Simplified, Realistic, and Effective:
Grades K-12
This practical session demonstrates a
realistic approach to differentiation that
promotes students' achievement with less
intensive time and labor for teachers.
Educators increase expertise in
differentiation strategies as they learn
to prioritize a sequence for implementing
differentiation. Simple-to-use strategies,
activities, and materials are modeled that
challenge students, increase active
participation, document state learning
standards, and transfer to multiple
content areas.
Differentiating
Instruction for Gifted Students in
Mixed-Ability Classrooms:
Grades
K-8
This session matches differentiation
strategies to the learning needs of
advanced students and models specific
techniques to lift students'
accomplishments through abstract thinking,
complexity, and content depth. The
techniques require less intensive teacher
preparation and simplify management issues
as they develop advanced students'
independence and responsibility for
continued learning.
Just
What I Need! Learning Experiences with
Multiple Applications:
Grades
K-8
Save instruction time, incorporate
standards, and increase student
achievement using learning experiences
with multiple applications. This practical
session invites participants to select
from a repertoire of modeled strategies
and activities that encourage student
excellence while minimizing teachers'
preparation time. Techniques are
demonstrated for high-order thinking,
vocabulary development, and the
integration of standards and skills across
multiple content areas.
Recognizing
and Nurturing Gifted
Potential:
Grades
K-8
This session focuses on features of
the Kingore Observation Inventory (KOI)
that guide identification of gifted
potential by 1) clarifying learning
patterns to observe over time, 2)
providing ongoing high-level learning
opportunities for all students to reveal
potentials, and 3) initiating a standard
that documents teachers' insights about
their students. The system enables
teachers to immediately initiate
appropriate differentiation and
effectively communicate with
parents.
