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.

This is a great course for grades 4 and up. Primary teachers can learn from it, but it will require lots of tweaking to fit the reading skills of younger students.

Excellent Course!

I enjoyed how you made an acronym and incorporate all the skills in the stations/centers. Only 2 per day is a great way for the students to have autonomy.

Tawuana – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I always enjoy learning about new types/prospective on systems in the classroom. Hearing what other teachers use, how they use it and what they use is a great resource. I also like this presenter because she doesn’t mention the purchase of a lot of new things to make it work. I like how she reminds us that the driving factor is student feedback and the concept of “Work smarter, Not harder”.
