Description
In this 6-hour course, Lisa Van Gemert, highlights the importance of differentiated instruction in meeting the needs of every student with a focus on gifted students. She presents practical classroom strategies and draws a clear distinction between differentiation and “more-ferentiation” (or simply offering more work to gifted students). This course includes practical applications and downloadable handouts.
Broken up into five modules, Ms. Van Gemert provides in-depth information on:
- Guiding principles and key ideas for implementation
- Tactics for creating an environment for differentiation
- Strategies for content (including depth, complexity and student interest)
- The learning process (including options for tiering instruction)

I love the information presented and how it makes you think about your practices.
Travis – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Lots of great resources and strategies covered; however, by the end, it gets a little overwhelming with how many ideas are put forth — I would prefer a more in-depth look at a few select options rather than a giant, exhaustive list with little depth or chance for exploration.

This course was recommended by my district for both elementary and secondary, but it was clearly heavily geared toward elementary students. My 8th graders would laugh me out of the classroom if I used some of these activities and strategies with them. I would have liked to see many more applicable examples for upper secondary students.
