Description
Gifted children require differentiation in the classroom to meet their unique needs and insure that they are adequately challenged in the classroom. It’s important that they receive the education they need for their development without disturbing or isolating the rest of the class. Join Dr. Juntune as she walks you through the unique minds of gifted children and explains why they need differentiation. She addresses how to practice individualized differentiation on a daily basis without placing a taxing workload on educators.

I feel courses like this help me process information at a slower pace. I don’t feel rushed and I enjoyed every minute of the training. They also give time to reflect on the information by asking how we would use these strategies and activities in our classrooms. Two thumbs up!!!
