Reflect content selection and procedures that will help maximize the transfer of knowledge, understanding, and skill; ! Select content (representative topics) that best represent the essential structure of the discipline; and ! Place a premium on the development of process skills, the appropriate use of methodology within content fields, and consider goals or outcomes in terms of concrete and abstract products. Effective Curriculum for All Learners • Has a clear focus on the essential facts, understandings, and skills that professionals in that discipline value most • Provide opportunities for students to develop in-depth understanding • Is organized to ensure that all student tasks are aligned with the goals of in-depth understanding • Is coherent (organized, unified, sensible) to the student • Is mentally and affectively engaging to the learner • Recognizes and supports the need of each learner to make sense of ideas and information, reconstructing older understandings with new ones • Is joyful-or at least satisfying • Provides choices for the learner • Allows meaningful collaboration Effective Curriculum for All Learners • Is focused on products (sometimes students make or do) that matter to students • Connects with students lives and worlds • Is fresh and surprising • Seems real, purposeful, useful to students • Is rich • Deals with profound ideas • Calls on students to use what they learn in interesting and important ways • Aids students in developing a fruitful consciousness of their thinking • Helps learners monitor and adapt their ways of working to ensure competent approaches to problem solving • Involves students in setting goals for their learning and assessing their progress toward those goals • Stretches the student Ascending Levels of Intellectual Demand Take Into Consideration Students ……. • • • • • • • Cognitive abilities Prior knowledge Schema Opportunities to learn Learning rate Developmental differences Levels of abstraction Ascending Levels of Demand Ascending levels of intellectual demand is the process that escalates one or more facets of the curriculum in order to match a learner s profile and provide appropriate challenge and pacing.

- 31. Avoid too much text. No exceptions.
- 32. Three things you must keep in mind: • Pacing: You’ve got allow proper pacing of GT learners through the Standards. Students may be working at much higher level of standards and/or capable of progressing through more than one grade level in a single school year. Flexible pacing is key. ! • Differentiation: It’s got to happen. The complexity of work must be greater with the GT students. Creativity must be included in the rubric. Problem-‐based learning can work with both of these. ! • Curriculum Openness: The curriculum should not be limited by content area. GT students can and should work across the curriculum, seamlessly blending all content areas. One of their greatest strengths is the ability to see the interconnectedness of ideas and theories, and this should be encouraged. This is not a presentation. This is a picture of a document.
