Description
A centers approach to teaching offers gifted students autonomy, choice, and differentiation in ways that challenge and stretch them individually. In this course, Erin Muck shares how she uses a centers approach in her language arts classroom with the goal of helping you make it work in your classroom.
The centers approach Ms. Muck uses and developed herself is called “The READ System.” She will walk you through the following:
- The power and advantages of using centers in your classroom
- Examples of what centers might look like in your classroom
- The specific benefits of using centers with your gifted students
She covers classroom setup, classroom organization, and demonstrates stations in action.
This course meets National Association for Gifted Children Teacher Preparation Standards 1.2, 2.1, and 2.1, as well as Ohio Department of Education competencies a, b, and c.

It has great ideas but I honestly wouldn’t have the time to get all that in order. Our day is so full and when you teach all subjects it’s too much to put together each week.

I liked the different approach to centers that READ provides. As the presenter states, it might be a bit of start up work, but once in place, it looks like you’d be ready for the following year.

I thought it was good; however, not much relates to a first grade classroom. How could I change it to fit for the younger students?
