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)

Instruction is long winded and tends to become monotonous.
Jason – LEANDER ISD (verified owner) –
I think the information is applicable, but I didn’t really learn anything new. I gained maybe a couple of ideas of activities, but that’s about it. Additionally, this training is dated. You can tell that this training took place when I was in school close to a decade ago.
