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)

I would like to be in person to ask questions. It’s hard to do this training online.
Erin – SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY (verified owner) –
This course has good information. However, some of the modules and examples are better suited for younger students and I teach older students. In this way, the course did not really benefit me.
Alejandro – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
It was a very informative course, in specific when understanding the major differences in tiering and compacting.

Despite having taught for years, I think I was not really making progress in learning to differentiate in a full classroom. Small group, yes, but not 20+ students. I have taken a lot of ideas from this course and feel like I can implement some of them immediately and others long-term.
Odette – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
It had concepts for elementary but was more geared for the upper grade levels.
Melissa – HARMONY SCIENCE ACAD (WACO) (verified owner) –
Nice
rodolfo – SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY (verified owner) –
bad
Megan – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –
I absolutely loved this course. I do think, because of the amount of material, that it could have been split into 2 or even 3 different modules. Overall, the most beneficial of all courses.
Brittany – ALICE ISD (verified owner) –
It was very insightful. Loved it!
Allison – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This course was very informative and presented a lot of fresh ideas for me.
