Description

What’s the difference between tiering your classroom instruction and compacting it? 

Lisa Van Gemert, M.Ed.T, describes it this way: Tiered instruction is a quintessential approach to differentiation, in which the same curriculum is tailored to different students’ abilities and interests. Compacting, on the other hand, involves giving a condensed version of your content to a student who has either mastered it already, or will be able to master it quickly. 

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:

  • 6 steps for effective tiering
  • 8 simple rules for compacting
  • How to follow the interests of your GT students

    Lisa is one of the best presenters for Gifted and Talented. She makes it easy to understand, fun and interesting. Always looking forward to her courses. Tiering and Compacting is so necessary especially during these times. Students are learning so much from their own electronic devices, by themselves, that I feel this adds extra pressure for us teachers to get their attention in the classroom. Students get bored right away if they sense the material in classroom is repetitious. It’s our responsibility to spice things up in the classroom and the answer is through tiering/compacting.

  14. Claudia – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

    Great and insightful!

  15. Silva – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner)
