The
KOI increases teachers' effectiveness in
identifying and differentiating
instruction for the students with gifted
potentials by:
- Clarifying
students' response patterns to look for
over time;
- Providing
an ongoing series of enriched learning
opportunities to all students that
elicit advanced potentials;
and
- Implementing
standards for observations and student
products that document teachers'
insights about their students to other
educators.
This
process helps to immediately initiate
appropriate differentiation in the
classroom for students whose learning
responses exceed the expectations of the
core curriculum.
The
KOI has been successfully implemented to
identify gifted and talented behaviors in
children for over 10 years in almost every
state in America and several other
countries, including Australia, Canada,
and Mexico. It is celebrated for its
ability to identify gifted potentials in
minority students and students from
poverty who are frequently difficult to
identify through standardized tests. It is
valued by educators for its effectiveness
and efficiency.
An
easy-to-use assessment and differentiation
process, the KOI enables you to enrich the
learning environment for all children
while identifying gifted and talented
students through seven categories of
observable behavior. Expanded into a K-3
and 4-8 level, this book provides for
each: multiple differentiation activities,
the KOI forms, Parent Information Forms,
procedures and interpretations of the
process, successful techniques, and
answers to the 14 most frequently posed
questions. Included are:
- Over
55 classroom
activities
correlated to the KOI
categories;
- Over
25 reproducible
forms
to integrate into your
curriculum;
- Over
190 literature
activities
correlated to the KOI categories; and
an
- Annotated
bibliography of over 175 children and
young adult literature
publications
correlated to the KOI
categories.
