Differentiation for Gifted Learners
Did you miss this opportunity the first time
around? Join the book Study on Diane Heacox’s and Richard M. Cash’s Differentiation for Gifted Learners Going
Beyond the Basics. Explore practical methods of serving the gifted students
in your classroom. Each week you will read a chapter and post your response to
the reading with its application to your position. Become part of this study
group and be enriched by other colleagues’ thoughts and ideas.
The study will begin Tuesday June 5.
Reading and work is to be completed by July 31 in order to earn 15 hours toward
your Highly Qualified Development in Gifted Education. One hour of college
credit is also available; contact Kris Dobbelaere (kdobbelaere@nwoesc.org) for details.
The book for our study can be purchased online or you can find a colleague from
your school who participated in the study during this school year and borrow
the book. (ISBN 978-1 57542-440-8)
Have 15 hours toward gifted
certification completed BEFORE school starts! (Or take the Heacox study too,
and have all 30 hours!) Join the Book Study on David Sousa’s How the Gifted Brain Learns Second Edition. This book is described as “a one-stop shop of
brain compatible strategies for teaching a full range of gifted students.” It
includes chapters dedicated to math, language arts and the arts. Resources are
bountiful. You can specifically tailored this study to your classroom. Read a
chapter from the book and post your response so other like-minded teachers in
the study will have access and be able comment and ask questions.
From the comfort of your own
space, in your own time - possibly poolside - earn 15 hours toward your Gifted
Hours. (For some of you there maybe surplus hours above this past year’s 30
which can be applied to required hours for next year!)
