This course will guide educators to learn strategies & techniques to adapt their teaching of required standards to meet the needs of their most academically capable students and all students in their classroom.  Along with other strategies, the information will follow the text Teaching Gifted Kids in Today’s Classroom by Susan Winebrenner.  

Participants will learn how to implement successful differentiation for all students, but especially high ability/high potential students using these methods:

compacting, learning contracts, extension menus, flexible grouping, subject acceleration and integration of technology.
