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)

Megan – MANOR ISD (verified owner) –
I wish there was a way to differentiate training. Ex: taking a pre-assessment and then only taking the courses/modules you need. The speaker is excellent though and you do get a lot of information. That just can sometimes be overwhelming. When you go to explore the tool that is suggested it pauses the module which means you cant explore the tool while she is talking about it.
