Iowa ASCD Conference
Audience
This conference is designed for district or building teams of administrators and teacher leaders.
Description
This is a two-day conference that culminates IASCD's work this year around differentiation of instruction to meet the needs of student subgroups--specifically underachievement.
Day 1: Series of three, two-hour breakout sessions by six Iowa practitioners sharing data and their successes with subgroups of underachievers.
Day 2: "Underachievement Syndrome"--a featured presentation by Dr. Sylvia Rimm, psychologist and author who directs the Family Achievement Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, and is clinical professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. "Capable children sit in our classrooms and don't learn up to their abilities."
