Description
Gifted children require differentiation in the classroom to meet their unique needs and insure that they are adequately challenged in the classroom. It’s important that they receive the education they need for their development without disturbing or isolating the rest of the class. Join Dr. Juntune as she walks you through the unique minds of gifted children and explains why they need differentiation. She addresses how to practice individualized differentiation on a daily basis without placing a taxing workload on educators.
This course will teach you:
- Why differentiation is essential
- Why it needs to be taking place constantly and cannot be relegated to certain times of the day or week.
- How tapping into the interests of students is invaluable to differentiation
- In-class strategies to naturally incorporate differentiation into the school day
- How to differentiate with limited work on the part of the teacher
- Why enrichment is not enough
- Why offering choice is crucial
And much more!

This course provided a vast amount of resources that are easy to use for GT students. Many of the statements that were stated are key behaviors seen in gifted students. It is important to know these behaviors because it allows us, teachers to really understand the student’s way of thinking, behavior, and interests. Let us better understand them to better guide them in THEIR learning of choice.

She suggests quite often changing the curriculum or moving around teaching days, I guess she doesn’t have a team that is required to stay together but I am so I’d like to know how this independent study stuff can happen if I also have to stay on schedule with the other teachers
