Description
Differentiation for gifted learners is not the same as differentiation in a regular classroom. In this 1-hour course, Richard M. Cash, Ph.D. draws from years of research and personal experience in gifted education to offer ideas for differentiating gifted courses. He discusses the various levels of the teaching and learning continuum and uses a framework to guide students toward greater learning autonomy through self-confidence.
In this course, you will learn to:
- Use pace to accelerate instructional practice
- Incorporate depth and complexity into your gifted courses
- Increase sophistication in the course through critical questioning

This course does an amazing job of explaining how to design higher level questions, and offers a lot of examples on how to engage your students into the self assessment process.

While the presenter opens with concepts that are not well-enough defined to be translated into daily classroom practice (and he’s not to be too harshly criticized for this since the session he is leading is a short one), he does, as he progresses, increasingly move into more practical application, as evidence by his use of specific examples and anecdotal explanations of how these examples worked in classrooms.
