This interactive workshop showcases the CogAT® Next-Step Planning Tool, an AI-powered solution that transforms CogAT data into classroom-ready instructional plans. Pairing innovation with classroom utility, this tool automatically groups students by reasoning strengths and generates differentiated strategies and activities aligned to standards or lesson objectives. See how data once used primarily for identification can now directly inform instruction by helping teachers differentiate learning, maximize student growth, and make ability data actionable. Designed for Gifted and Talented teachers and administrators, this session bridges the gap between assessment and application, empowering educators to better recognize potential and foster engagement across learners.

During this session, participants will:

• Understand how CogAT data reveals student reasoning strengths and learning profiles.
• Explore how AI-driven grouping saves planning time and supports differentiation.
• Experience how to use generated lesson strategies to connect ability data to instruction.
• Learn best practices for integrating CogAT data into G&T program design.
