3.11.7 Defensible identification: We can’t lead differentiation if we don’t know who we have!
In a recent grant funded project, the presenter found a viable way to develop and implement a “defensible” identification system that tells educational planner specific information that places students accurately into appropriately differentiated services and ensures that traditionally under-served populations with high potential are recognised and supported as well. The system developed as well as the support services provided will be shared with audience participants.
