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.

Its good to know other ways to organize your teaching to meet the needs of the students and keep teachers organized. Very helpful information.
Amber – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I like the ideas but they are geared for older students than I teach. I can still use some components that were presented by altering them for the age that I teach.
Johnda – IRONTON CITY (verified owner) –
It was OK. I’m not sure if it fits my teaching style. Although, It had some good information.
Kelly – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
It was good as a first look at centers, but I would like to know more about the actual activities in each center and have some actual examples of what I could use.

This course was informative; it was not an ‘overload’ of information which makes it seem ‘doable’ for implementation. The provided resources are also helpful.

This course inspires me to try stations. Good info
Danielle – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I think the course was great especially if you want to start a station rotation program. I would like to see the day in action or a sample day in her classroom. How does it look for the whole class period? Maybe she could add something about how a day looks in the class with the actual stations and the small group session.
Erin – HPS – HOUSTON SOUTH/WEST (verified owner) –
I think this is awesome. It would work wonderfully in a second grade and up classroom. I am considering modifying it for a first grade classroom.

Great content.
Ruby – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –
For the upper elementary grades I feel this presentation was great, however I do not feel I have gained much that I can implement as easily at the Kindergarten level. If I had known the presenter was a 6th grade teacher, I would’ve chosen another presentation.
