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 one was better. The activities were walked through which was my major complaint about the previous one. I still feel like this information needs to be updated. I understand the broad picture is the same, but it would be nice to hear about tools, tips, and tricks that are currently relevant for our digital age.

While I enjoy Dr. Juntune, she is extremely long winded and this particular module could have been made more efficient by not having so many long stories and anecdotes. I am getting to the point where these are becoming more boring and less interesting. It would be nice to be able to skip through some of the repetitious or uninteresting bits. It would be fine if you could not skip through the main points, but in areas where it is drawn out story telling, to be able to move more quickly. As a Pre-AP Science teacher, there is so much that is directed towards elementary, and while it might be useful to some degree in high school, is not exactly applicable.
