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)

Thought this course was helpful in learning about differentiation but she referred a lot of things to do with technology and in my classroom I don’t have 1 to 1 of technology so I need different ways to use this without technology.

I personally find the format of this awkward. I’m not really participating in the PD, so showing me a video of someone giving one doesn’t really do much for me. The information is useful, but I’d rather it be more compressed and less dependent on listening to a speaker.
