Hi guys, do any of you know of any info on autism available in Chinese or international autism support groups? I've got one student with autism and info is so sparse here in China. I can speak Chinese but it is limited in that I am unable to communicate deeper level autism knowledge to her parents. :|

Thanks Jamie - the students seemed to take a great deal away with them in the process. I really enjoyed the challenges that it brought to their level. It caused them to up their game quite a bit and they were really engaged in the process.

This was an interesting case study that my student in social 10 participated in. The class utilized a variety of tools and activities in completing this assignment in current events. Check it out http://dangillmor38.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/activism-or-slacktivis...

GAME PLAN FOR ASSESSMENT
- What's the learning target (KUD's)? The K's and D's are easy. The U's are the hard part and common core demands U's. Brain research has shown that people can't learn without making sense (I can explain how it works and why) and seeing meaning (I see what people can do with it and/or how it connects to the world). The U's are the sense and meaning.
- What prerequisite skills am I assuming students have?
- Where is everyone in relation to the KUD's and the prerequisite skills?
- What am I going to do with the information I get to move everyone forward - in UNDERSTANDING as well as knowledge and skills? If kids don't have the basics, that doesn't mean they can't get the understandings.
- How will I keep track of everyone's progress? YES! Make a simple chart. Keep checking it off as you see students move forward.
- How can I involve student in more fully understanding and investing in their growth? In other words, can the kids tell you what they're learning and how well they're learning?
- How can assessment help students better understand how DI works and how they can best contribute to their success?
We have to know at the outset where students should end up and what they should be able to do with what they've learned when they get there.

We're working with Dr. Tomlinson today on formative assessment. I'll fill you in.

We've made some updates to our site. Also, I'm presenting at at confernece in Decbember about how we got DI up and running (or strolling) in our district. Please share some of the things you've done.

This is a DI Wiki I discovered a few weeks ago, and it's been a great resource for me so far: http://daretodifferentiate.wikispaces.com/Choice+Boards
