In our increasingly technological world, there is no way to get around the fact that STEM (Science, Technology, Math and Engineering) will continue to be at the forefront of educational discussions.
In “Differentiated STEM Activities and Assessment,” Carolyn Coil brings together three important facets: STEM education, differentiation, and practical application for the gifted and talented learner.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn:
- What being at grade level really means

- Application of the STEM approach
- Strategies for developing assessment criteria
- Methods of educating the gifted and talented in a fair learning environment

The title of this course was specific to STEM activities and assessments, but it really was a general GT differentiation course. The suggested strategies have been taught before in other GT courses. No materials were provided, just links to purchase the presenter’s books.

Jennifer – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I’m not a fan of online professional learning to begin with, but this was a little hard to follow without any kind of handout and watching the presenter the majority of the time. I also felt like the quiz questions weren’t meant to increase our knowledge of what was being asked, but more of a “have you watched every single part extremely carefully” type of assessment. I started out taking notes on what I felt would apply best to me and my students but quickly learned that I needed to take extensive notes almost word-for-word or I would miss the quiz questions. It became stressful instead of informative.
