EDU 700 - Differentiation & Strategies for High Ability Learners (3)


Differentiation and strategies for high ability learners includes an examination of the intersection of giftedness and formal education to identify potential sources of conflict and promise. Research-supported teaching methods that can be used to tailor instruction to the learning needs, interests, and abilities of different types of students will be developed. Participants will examine course content, process, product, and learning environments as areas for differentiation. The class will consider pre-assessment and compacting, flexible grouping, and a variety of graphic organizers that promote high-end thinking. Models for differentiation and questioning, including Bloom’s Taxonomy, Kaplan’s model, and others will be addressed. Participants will reflect upon their practices to seek areas for improvement.
