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)

Lots of things resources presented that I can directly apply to my classroom instruction and lesson planning. Would be very helpful to provide a PDF of the handout along with the course video. I feel I have missed out on resources because I didn’t have the handout. Also makes note writing a bit more tedious.

As a Special Education Paraprofessional most of the content here was geared for the teacher of record. But I did find some of the content interesting so that I can better understand how the teacher of record uses different strategies and can help them when it comes to using the Differentiation Strategies in the classroom when needing to assist students whose abilities are lower, midlevel or high functioning achieve their academic needs.
