| Gentile's Taxonomy: Developing and Assessing Appropriate Skill Progressions | 
				| CEU OPPORTUNITY: There are a number of decisions that must be considered when designing a practice environment: Should we modify the skill(s)?  How often should variations of the skill(s) be presented?  What level of difficulty would present the greatest opportunity for learning?  Utilizing Gentile's Taxonomy as a framework, attendees will participate in a variety of real-world theory-to-practice applications of designing the optimal practice environment.  In addition, current trends in assessment (e.g., authentic assessment) will be discussed. |
