Description
For many educators, the idea of adding rigor to their gifted students’ instruction means simply increasing the amount of work they do. Education specialist Lisa Van Gemert calls this a travesty and says that this approach effectively punishes gifted students for their abilities.
Ms. Van Gemert suggests that the best way to add rigor to gifted education is to focus on the quality of work rather than the quantity. This way, gifted students will be challenged academically without having to do lots of extra work.
In this 1-hour course presented by Gifted Guru, you’ll learn the best ways to add rigor to your gifted instruction.
The course is full of strategies you can use in your classroom today like:
- Rubrics for rigor
- Chart examination
- The writer’s toolbox
- Magical musical tour
- Storybird
- And much more

PD related to differentiation often feels vague, abstract, and difficult to implement effectively. This presenter referenced numerous resources and provided a variety of ideas that would be easy to implement. She was also well-spoken and relatable.
