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.

I appreciate that the presenter was transparent in how she presented the information.
She gave steps for setting up the READ model, but gave advice that the teacher
needs to adjust it to meet the needs of your students.

This is a great system but I feel that it is a good way for my higher level learners and would be a challenge for the rest of my learners in Kindergarten.

Lauren – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
This seems like a good course and should work in a classroom of a school with good discipline. I like the idea of the READ program. It is quite a bit of work for 1 person to do.

Christina – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I liked the course very much, took notes, pictures, and drew outlines. I was all excited and ready…then I took the four question quiz and failed it three times. Those questions were silly and not at all indicative of engagement with the subject matter.
