This course provided many interesting choices for differentiation. This is the first time that I go through GT training and it is interesting to note that I found I already employ some of the strategies covered in the course, not only with GT students but with “regular” students as well. What this course is doing for me is helping me learn how I can be a better consumer of these strategies so that I get better results when I employ these strategies in the classroom.
