Book: Differentiation for Gifted Learners: Going Beyond the Basics
Aurthors: Diane Heacox, Ed.D. & Richard M. Cash, Ed. D.
Within a group of advanced learners, the variety of abilities, talents, interests, and learning styles can be formidable. For the first time, this book connects the unique learning differences among gifted students to the specific teaching methods used to tailor their educational experiences. Differentiated instruction for gifted and talented students must go beyond adjusting content levels, task complexity, or product choice.
Topics discussed include:
- Common Core State Standards
- real-world problem solving
- abstract thinking
- interdisciplinary concepts
- authentic products
- learning autonomy
- accountability
- grouping practices
- affective curriculum
- 21st-century skills
- Advanced Placement and Honors classes
- IB programs
- underserved populations
- twice-exceptional learners
Register prior to October 21 so we can get you a copy of the book in advance for the first meeting.
