This session is intended to be a refresher workshop highlighting the Core-Selective Evaluation Process (C-SEP). This approach of SLD identification is a third-method pattern of strengths and weakness (PSW) approach rooted in contemporary CHC theory and features the application of professional judgment, integrated data analysis techniques, and the use of statistical support to help guide decisions. The organizational framework of C-SEP is a set of sound educational practices logically interwoven to provide the most comprehensive, statistically sound, and legally defensible assessment of SLD. This presentation will revisit the organizational framework of C-SEP, distinguish C-SEP from other methods, and provide an illustration of this model using a case study.

Concrete, pictorial, abstract (CPA) is a highly effective approach to teaching that develops a deep and sustainable understanding of math in students. Our math process standards address this when stating the student will be able to use multiple representations and more. This method builds on a child’s existing understanding to support the development of abstract concepts. Come to learn how to make this connection with students' hand, body, and mind. Teachers will leave with an understanding of Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach to teaching and be able to apply the strategies in the classroom.

For gifted students to demonstrate academic growth they must be challenged, but what if they refuse to accept that challenge? Students may not realize the influence effort has on their success with difficult tasks. Participants will study various approaches for reinforcing effort and providing recognition to enhance students’ learning and encourage them to take educational risks. This course is based on Marzano’s nine instructional strategies. This workshop satisfies the state requirement for the annual G/T 6-hour update.

In this two-day session, campus leadership teams will learn how to help their teachers find more time in the day. How, you ask? Simple - by spending less time teaching their students what they already know and more time on what their students need. Campus leaders will also lock in answers to the following questions: How do I know my students are learning? If they aren’t, what do I do? In this hands-on, minds-on session, leaders will engage with an easy to replicate data protocol developed by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo. Participants will receive copies of both Driven by Data 2.0 and Leverage Leadership 2.0 to facilitate deeper D.D.I. implementation within their districts.Teams will receive monthly implementation support and coaching after their initial face-to-face engagement. Leadership teams should include a team of three (principal manager, principal, and another campus leader.)

The knowledge and skills statements for our TEKS are based on best practice, which means that editing and revision should be taught using listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking. So how do we incorporate these language domains into editing and revision instruction? In addition, teaching revision and conventions within the context of writing is best practice, but how do we do it? If you've asked yourself this question, this is the workshop for you. Strategies for moving beyond "worksheet skill and drill" toward teaching real-world revision and stronger conventions while editing, is the goal. This practice is the best way to help students transfer these skills to their own writing.
