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!

As KG Teacher, I just can use some parts. For upper grade levels it could be amazing !
Oscar – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –
The course is so width and covers student for all grades levels, but it is more centered in students for Middle School and maybe more focused for High School.
For EC-4 grades students, could be not easy or have more difficult to adapt for the GT students.

Anastasia – ALPINE ISD (verified owner) –
This training really gets you to think deeper about how you design your lessons. However, each one of these courses takes a very long time… I wish it was broke up a little better seeing as we teachers cannot devote this much time all at once. We need to feel like we are accomplishing something rather than having to take it bit by bit and feeling like the end is no where in sight.
