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)

Ms. Van Gemert’s lessons give teachers a lot of practical tools to use in their classroom to allow them to get immediate use out of her teachings. That method worked very well with this topic as it is one that is easier to conceptualize than to figure out how to do. She did an excellent job of breaking this topic down into easy to follow steps and the breath and simplicity of resources she shared was almost overwhelming. An excellent practical knowledge module.
