Differentiating for High Level Learners
Connect
Much of the strategies
seem to be similar to
differentiating for
struggling students
Accelerating pace of
instruction makes
sense [challenge]
A lot of teaching to
G&T seems to be
based in authentic
instruction -- have
students do
assignments that are
relevant to their lives
and that matter to
them
Extend Challenge
Multi-curricular How do we accelerate
content is interesting the pace of instruction
-- have students without losing the
challenge themselves making thinking
simply by making visible piece?
connections How do we support
I like ill-structured kids who attach
and messy questions self-worth to their
-- have students grades?
challenge themselves
with more than a yes
or no, with questions
that dont have
answers
