Working with Academically Talented Learners in Heterogeneous Classrooms

by Trae Stewart, Ph.D.

This talk will empower teachers to work with gifted and talented learners in heterogeneous classrooms. Attendees will clarify their definitions of giftedness and expand their repertoire of instructional strategies for those learners who require additional depth and complexity in the learning process. Differentiated classrooms and their characteristics will frame strategies like acceleration, ability grouping, centers, curriculum compacting, project-based learning, and hands-on activities. Practices to avoid will also be presented so that educators can ensure that the exceptional emotional and cognitive needs of gifted learners are met.

Audience: All teachers
