Differentiation for Gifted Learners: Going Beyond the Basics

By Diane Heacox & Richard Cash

With increasing numbers of students receiving gifted services every year, it's more important than ever to make certain we are meeting their unique learning needs in the classroom. Differentiated instruction for these learners must go beyond adjusting content levels, task complexity, or product choice—it must truly challenge and support learners on all levels: academic, social, and emotional. A leading resource in the field of gifted education, this book connects the unique learning differences among gifted students to the specific teaching methods used to tailor their learning experiences.

Participants will examine the world gifted education through the lenses of characteristics, brain research, common models, and most importantly practical strategies to use in the classroom. The primary focus of the book study will be applying these strategies and best practices to your lessons and examining how they alter the learning experience for your students.

This 15 contact hour online book study will require:

  • Independent reading of the text
  • Engagement with online Chapter Modules
  • Digital interaction with fellow participants
  • Development of and reflection on actionable strategies in the classroom

Course Dates: February 24th through May 8th.
