The
Georgia Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
invites you to attend our Annual Conference scheduled February
3-4, 2005. We are excited about this year's conference, which
promises to be engaging, interactive, and content appropriate
as we present nationally known educator,
Dr. Kay Burke
Creating Performance Task Units
Correlated to Georgia Standards
Dr. Burke will demonstrate how teams of educators (K-12),
administrators and staff developers can work together to develop
Performance Task Units that cluster the new Georgia Performance
Standards, target important curriculum goals, and motivate
students to learn. Learn how to write engaging performance
tasks, develop criteria checklists using specific vocabulary
from the Georgia standards, then convert the checklists into
valid analytical rubrics that provide valuable feedback to
students, teachers, and parents. Discover how to organize
teams of teachers at schools to work together to teach for
understanding and create consistent evaluations that provide
accurate grades and stimulate meaningful conversations about
student learning. Teachers can work collaboratively to examine
student work and decide how to modify and differentiate their
instruction to help all students in Georgia meet or exceed
standards. |
