Empowering Students to Think and Learn Using the Depth & Complexity Framework (Sequential Workshop Suite)
WORKSHOP 2: Depth & Complexity Framework Differentiation

2. Reflect on Your Practice
12/4/2018
Reflect on Your Practice
1. What “outlier” behavior patterns have you observed in students using the Depth & Complexity prompts that indicate they might be thinking on a higher “plane” than most?
2. What does rigor look like from the perspective of a student whose teacher is implementing the Depth and Complexity Framework?
3. What DCF qualitative and quantitative data indicate a possible rise in student achievement?
4. What paradigm shift has occurred in your teaching as a result of using the Depth and Complexity prompts?
10 min.
Let’s take a gallery walk to reflect on our implementation of the Depth & Complexity Framework so far and how it relates to the goals of this professional development. You will be divided into four groups, and will have 2 min. to respond to each of the four questions posted on chart paper around the room.

How Are We Moving Toward Our Goals?
GOAL:
Identify gifted potential in underrepresented populations
QUESTIONS
What “outlier” behavior patterns have you observed in students using the Depth & Complexity prompts that indicate they might be thinking on a higher “plane” than most?
1 min.
The behaviors you observed in these students might be an indicator of gifted potential. That is the reason for using the prompts as it provides opportunities for all students, including those from underrepresented populations to demonstrate exceptional thinking abilities. Be sure you are using the DCF Observation Tool to record notes about these students for possible referral for gifted identification. 3

4. Iterative Process ANALOGY PROMPT

Iterative Process
ANALOGY PROMPT
Each member of the group writes a noun on a sticky note and places it face down on the table.
Pass your sticky note to the person on your right.
Write an analogy: The iterative process is like (noun) because . . .
Share with your group. Then choose one to share with the large group.
15 min. Share your analogies with your table. Pick two from the group you think capture the essence of the iterative process the best. Combine tables and share the two. Choose one. Share with the larger group. 4
