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
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.

Ideas like this are powerful because the presenter also gave the management piece. Implementation always comes down to how to mange it in the classroom and that was most helpful. This was an idea-starting course, where every detail did not have to be included, but enough was shared, and with enthusiasm, so that I want to try to implement it in my classroom too.
