Redesigned and awesome ISIR (International Society for Intelligence Research) web page


It had been a while since I visited the ISIR web page.  I checked today and see that it has been completely redesigned.  It is AWESOME.  For those serious about human intelligence research, ISIR is THE professional organization one needs to join.  I have attended a couple of their conferences and they are top notch.  I hope to attend the 2015 conference in Sept.

Virutal lecture: Flanagan on Theory and Research-based Approach to SLD identification

http://pull.xmr3.com/p/CG-1448293-37080867-2-4-US1-161A/0/
Wiley.com
Dear Professor:

We invite you to join us online for a Virtual Guest Lecture on the following topic:

Guest Lecture Topic
A Theory- and Research-based Approach to SLD Identification: Integrating RTI with Cognitive Assessment Data

Monday, March 22 @ 2 p.m. ET - Click here to register

Presenter: Dawn Flanagan, St. John's University
Work in the 21st Century

RTI and cognitive assessment are not mutually exclusive and both are necessary for diagnosis and treatment of SLD. While debates between RTI-only advocates and cognitive assessment advocates will continue, neither side has strong enough evidence to convince us to abandon the other. In her Guest Lecture, Dawn Flanagan will present a theory- and research-based definition of SLD that integrates data from multiple sources and methods via a tiered service delivery model which will aid in differential diagnosis (i.e., distinguishing SLD from other disabilities and conditions).

In addition to our online Guest Lecture Series offerings, the Wiley Faculty Network is a complete instructor resource for technology training and tutorials, live workshops, and peer-to-peer consulting, all designed to encourage the sharing of experiences, ideas, and resources.

Don't miss this great opportunity! We're looking forward to having you join us!

Sincerely,

Your Wiley Faculty Network Team
FacultyNetwork@wiley.com

P.S. If you know of a colleague who might be interested in this guest lecture series, we encourage you to pass this email along.

2009 ISIR Intelligence Conference registration open


Registration for the Tenth Annual Conference of the International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) is now open. The conference announcement can be found here. The conference is from December 17-19 in Madrid Spain. Detailed event information is also available.

IMHO, the ISIR conferences I've attended have been the best professional conferences re: intelligence research I've ever attended. I particularly like the format where all participants (because of the relatively small size of the conference, when compared to APA, AERA, NASP, etc.) hear all paper presentations together. This gives all attendies the same shared content and many opportunities to ask questions, discuss, argue, etc. between sessions and at the end of the day.

CHC selective referral-focused testing scenarios

I just posted Part B of the mini-skills workshop I just made at NASP 2009 Boston (CHC COG-ACH Relations Research Synthesis:  What We've Learned From 20 Years of Research) as on on-line viewable PPT at SlideShare, and my SlideShare space in particular. You should view the prior description of this project and presentation at the link above. 

The second part of this presentation is the application of the results of the research synthesis vis-a-vis the demonstration of "CHC selective (branching tree) referral-focused testing scenarios" that are grounded in the research synthesis.  The direct link to the slide show can be accessed by clicking here.

The description included with the slide show follows:

This is the second half of the a mini-skills workshop made at NASP 2009 in Boston (CHC COG-ACH Relations Research Synthesis:  What We've Learned From 20 Years of Research".  The first half of this presentation is also available at Kevin McGrew’s SlideShare space and is called “CHC-Cog-Ach Relations Research Synthesis”  ---- the current module is an attempt to demonstrate selective testing (branching-tree) referral-focused testing scenarios based on the results of the CHC Cog-Ach relations research synthesis, using the WJ III battery as the illustrative instrument.  The viewer should first view the CHC Cog-Ach Relations Research Synthesis module prior to viewing this module.

Enjoy.  Feedback is appreciated.Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

CHC COG-ACH research synthesis project: 1-18-09 update and revision


I just posted another update to the on-line PPT SlideShare show that presents my current interpretation of the results of a "CHC cognitive-achievement relations research synthesis" project that I've been working on.   The newest feature is the inclusion of a set of "cheat-sheet" summary slides to be used by assessment professionals to engage in more selective referral-focused cognitive assessments.  These research-to-practice summary slides (click here if you want to see an example) are intended to take the research synthesis results (the first 100 slides....yes...the show has 130 in total and is not yet finished) and make the results practical.

This presentation presents an update of the "CHC COG-ACH correlates research synthesis" project described and hosted at IQ's Corner and IAP. The viewer should first read the background materials regarding this project at these sites (how to access is also included in first slide). The results summarized in this on-line show are part of a manuscript that is in preparation with Barb Wendling and will also serve as the foundation for a mini-skills workshop at the 2009 NASP conference in Boston.

Revisit IQ's Corner to keep abreast of updates.

NASP CHC Boston happy hour get together

Andrew Shanock has taken the lead in organizing a NASP convention CHC happy hour in Boston. Although he is still researching possible local pubs, he has established a general meeting area (should we call it "g" ?). Below is Andrew's update

  • At the very least we will hold the festivities at the Boston Marriot. We'll start at 5:30 for the festivities. I created new SWAG for CHC. Go to http://www.cafepress.com/CHCboston
  • It can take two weeks to get to you so if you order now, you should have plenty of time to get it in your hands. The logo has CHC and below is "Bridging Abilities to Achievement", then in black letters is "We're taking RtI to a whole new Tier". See what you think. No profit is made from the items. You buy it all from cafe press.
  • If anyone has suggestions as to a close bar/pub by the hotel send me an email. I will send out definite plans by the end of the week.
  • Thanks and look forward to seeing you in Boston

I'm on the road again for work-related business. I will be attending and presenting at the 2008 ISIR conference in GA. I don't expect much time to blog...except for possible "push" type FYI posts re: content posted at other blogs. However, two years ago at ISIR there was a wifi connection in the presentation room and I attempted some "live blogging from ISIR." I MIGHT try that again....no promises.

I shall return. The conference program looks awesome.
