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)

This training will clarify misconceptions about gifted learners.
Andrea – MARION LOCAL (verified owner) –
I thought that it was pretty good. There were parts that seemed out-of-date or that I wouldn’t use in my room (a lot of powerpoint references when I use the Google Suite) but there are ideas that I have already used within my classroom in a day.
Mary – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
Yes, I think if offers a new way to think of differentiation in an open and approachable manner.

I love teaching kindergarten, did misundertand; however, after watching Lisa’s courses I often wish I taught a higher grade level.
There are many tips and tools that I can apply to my mode of teaching, but not so many that my students are able to use themselves.
Maybe next year she will have a course designed just for K-2 teachers.

I would off like to have more ideas for the lower grades such as first grade. It often talked more about high schoolers or upper grades, so I am still finding it difficult to find ideas for activities for differentiation. I would like samples not just saying to modify it.
