Differentiation has been described as one of the most important aspects of effective teaching, especially in the field of gifted education. However, the limits of the process and the factors contributing to effective differentiation is vaguely defined. In this session, Dr. Bahar will discuss the results of his study on teachers' differentiation ability to meet the needs of mathematically gifted students.
Participant Outcomes:
- Grow knowledge in use of differentiation strategies through designing differentiated curricula that incorporate advanced, conceptually challenging, in-depth, distinctive, and complex content for students with gifts and talents.
- Practice how to modify/differentiate instruction processes in middle/high school mathematics classes
NAGC Standards:
Standard 1: Learning and Development:
- 1.1.2. Educators assist students with gifts and talents in developing identities supportive of achievement.
Standard 3: Curriculum Planning and Instruction
- 3.1.4. Educators design differentiated curricula that incorporate advanced,conceptually challenging, in-depth, distinctive, and complex content for students with gifts and talents.
