Training Students • Students need to be introduced to the tools of advocating for their own differentiation. • In the beginning of the year alternate projects are more teacher-generated. • As the year progresses students propose their own projects and rubrics.
Six Profiles The Successful The Drop Out The Underground The Autonomous Learner The Double-Labeled The Non-Conformist
Tool Kit • Students need to know how to use: • Webquest Menus • Rubric generating software • Bibliography-generating websites • Proposal Forms • Project Logs • Web page creation software • The library • I include a “Library Consult” component with independent research. A library staff member has to sign off that the student consulted with them about their topic and has utilized our library’s resources well.
Standards? • Students who are eligible for alternate projects have already satisfied state grade-level standards. • Daily practice is not generally used to assess standards, therefore, GT students are not skipping anything if they can demonstrate their knowledge on a pretest, posttest or with their alternate project. • Older students can identify how their alternate project addresses state standards. • Teacher may paraphrase content standards to help students identify appropriate standards. • Webgrader has features that allow standards to be attached to alternate projects.
Moodle • Online courses can be created by using Moodle software. • Students can learn at their own pace. • GT students can communicate with each other and the teacher in a convenient way.
