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 liked the Real strategies and free websites, downloads, and tools that I can use in my classroom to differentiate.
The matching and interactive quiz was a great way to reflect. I also like the short answer questions. The presenter was very up beat and motivated to explain actual projects that can be used in any classroom.

Good, lots of good information. Too long training. Doesn’t let you just listen without looking at the actual video while you are on a different tab. That would be awesome if I could listen as well while working other tabs. Didn’t like the question parts.
