This workshop is designed for schools looking for low cost means of providing professional development to help teachers improve differentiation of their instruction to gifted and talented students. This train-the-trainer format will provide access to all the materials you need for five modules designed to help your teachers improve their ability to differentiate instruction to gifted and talented students. The materials were developed by member schools and piloted with teachers in the schools that developed these modules. In addition, we will explore the materials that are available within the resource Professional Development for Differentiating Instruction: An ASCD Action Tool by Cindy A. Strickland.

$20 for all CESA 5 School Districts, $100 for non CESA 5 members. Each district attending will receive one copy of Professional Development for Differentiating Instruction: An ASCD Action Tool by Cindy A. Strickland.

If you have any questions, please contact Wanda Williams, williamsw@cesa5.k12.wi.us, 608-742-8814, Ext. 273.
