Description
A centers approach to teaching offers gifted students autonomy, choice, and differentiation in ways that challenge and stretch them individually.

This is a great system but I feel that it is a good way for my higher level learners and would be a challenge for the rest of my learners in Kindergarten.

I appreciate that the presenter was transparent in how she presented the information.
She gave steps for setting up the READ model, but gave advice that the teacher
needs to adjust it to meet the needs of your students.

I liked how this course outlined different stations and ideas. This is best for upper elementary or secondary. As a first grade teacher though I did have some take aways that I am excited to try in my classroom.
