This book was released on 2006 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacking knowledge of gifted students and my excitement about learning the elements about the differentiated classroom sparked my research study. Having had gifted students in my classroom and not knowing what their characteristics or talents are, has been a weakness in my teaching that needed to be strengthened. Differentiated instruction would enable me to help develop my gifted students as independent learners. Reading such authors as Susan Winebrenner and Carol Ann Tomlinson influenced my thinking in this process. Their opening pages in their books about how the gifted students were the least likely students to make gains in a regular classroom, caught my attention. They formally introduced me to the differentiated classroom and the ability of using this concept to help develop independent learners. Reading articles about independent studies tied the research together with Winebrenner and Tomlinson. The purpose of this study was to allow my gifted and talented students the ability to work on an independent study and to experience how research can change the way they think and learn. By using an independent study in Winebrenner's book, Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom (2001), I was able to implement differentiated instruction to six gifted students in my regular fourth grade classroom. Students were assessed by daily journaling, an observation checklist, and by using a focus group meeting after the independent study was done. The results of the independent study showed how differentiation not only developed more independent learners, but also proved that the gifted students found more satisfaction in choosing their own topics and being able to create their own means of presentation. These findings reinforced the research about the differentiated classroom, and the capability in has to create better thinkers and learners in all regular education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers exciting new approaches for teachers to differentiate instruction and provide a challenging curriculum that meets the needs of all students in the classroom. Lessons built around 12 big ideas, concepts, and neglected skills (such as accessing information, argumentation, creative thinking, problem solving, and research and independent study), give teachers valuable options to enhance and retool higher level instruction. The catalyst cards have been designed to allow students to experience subject matter in the form of a discipline inclusive of a topic or area of study that often is underrepresented in the core curriculum. These alternative areas of study include aesthetics, anthropology, and epistemology and feature rigorous activities that can be used by the entire class, groups, or individually. The curriculum grids integrate the lessons, catalyst cards, and other teacher material, and provide a wide range of intriguing extensions for students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents of gifted children need to present schools with educational plans. Current educational programs for gifted students are generally inadequate and do not fit the particular gifted child. Rogers explains various programs for acceleration and enrichment, as well as grouping practices. For each educational option, she delineates what the current research says about the benefit or lack of benefit to which types of gifted children and explains how to arrange each option. This book is a real eye-opener for educators and parents unfamiliar with the full body of research in the field of curriculum for gifted education. ? Types of giftedness ? Types of enrichment ?
