This Sunday we will be discussing the differentiation strategies for gifted children in the classroom. Our featured guest will be Laurie Westphal. She has written a series of books called Instruction with Menus. They are excellent resources to use in the classroom. I have used several of them for the past few years, and they have helped my instruction with my students.
Just as a side note, there is only one chat this month. Next month we will get back to two a month.
Differentiation can be a tough, but in the end it is great to see student's abilities stretched when it is done correctly. Below is a few resources to get you started
