EDUC591 - Differentiating Instruction for Academically and Intellectually Gifted Learners
View Academic Calendar
Course participants will examine rationales for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of gifted learners. They will investigate and apply strategies for differentiating the content, process, products, and learning environment in response to varying learner readiness, interests, and learning profiles. In addition, the instructional and leadership skills needed to support and encourage differentiation in today’s schools will be explored. Using the cases as a launching point, teachers will be given the opportunity to participate in on-line collaboration regarding beliefs, best practices, challenges, current research, and ways to apply them to their own teaching practice.
