2. In today’s globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education.

27. Recognition Networks The "what" of learning Affective Networks The "why" of learning Strategic Networks The "how" of learning Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks. How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks. How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.

28. What do gifted learners need in order to maximize their learning?

29. Learning Needs of Gifted: Some, Not All • Complexity: Abstract-thinking, Variety of concepts, subjects and strategies • Depth: Higher levels of thinking, concepts • Creativity: Open-endedness, choice • Acceleration: Rapid pacing, Focus on Growth • Relevance: Personal interest, Real-world problems and audiences, Connections

30. Tools and Strategies for Challenging Gifted Learners • Concept-Based Teaching • Tiered Assignments • Project-Based Learning • Curriculum Compacting • Independent Study with Rubrics • Seminars • Other All with appropriate challenge!

31. Formative Assessment • happens during instruction in the classroom • is ongoing—minute to minute or in short cycles • is not graded or used in accountability systems • is descriptive in nature • Why? • To provide feedback to adjust teaching and learning to help students improve their achievement of intended instructional outcomes.

32. Formative Assessment • Questioning • Discussions • Learning activities • Feedback • Conferences • Interviews • Student reflections

33. Summative Assessment • is used to measure student competence or program effectiveness • is found at the classroom, district, and state levels • is evaluative and used to categorize students so performance among students can be compared • can be graded and used in accountability systems

34. Summative Assessment • Selected Response Items • Multiple choice • True/false • Matching • Short Answer • Fill in the blank • 1-2 sentence responses • Extended Written Responses • Performance • Portfolios(may include a combination of any of the above)

35. Summative Helps determine how much learning has taken place Occurs at the end of an instructional unit Graded Product Evaluative feedback Periodic Assessments in Summary Formative • Promotes student learning • Occurs during instruction • Not graded • Process • Descriptive feedback • Continuous
