Differentiated Instruction
for
Gifted and Talented Learners
What is Differentiated Instruction?
Differentiation means tailoring instruction
to meet individual needs. Whether teachers differentiate content, process, product,
or the learning environment, the use of
ongoing assessment and flexibility
makes this a successful approach
to instruction. ( Carol Ann Tomlinson)

Ways to Differentiate:
Choose the objective and...
(modify content, process & product)
AND
assessment
is ongoing
An example of differentiation in 5th grade math
OBJECTIVES
The students will identify and define the properties of operations and be able to apply them to equations.
The student will be able to engage in enrichment activities to challenge and stimulate them.
CCSS.3.0.A.B.5
Apply properties of operations (commutative property of multiplication, associative property of multiplication, distributive property) as strategies to multiply and divide.
The teacher will pre-assess to evaluate each learners knowledge of the content to create tailored lessons and enriched activities for the gifted learners needs.
Materials:
(), +, -, = signs.
Another way to differentiate and enrich the lesson is to color code the triangles with numbers that are larger and more challenging.(Green are easier while red are more challenging) Another enrichment activity is to give the learner a large number, for example 43 and have the learner create as many equations that will equal the number.
Always ongoing assessment!
Ways teachers can support gifted & talented learners in the classroom:

Enrichment Strategies:
What is acceleration?
Acceleration occurs when students move through traditional curriculum at rates faster than typical.
nagc.org
What is enrichment?
Enrichment is when the learner is working on a topic in more depth, breadth, and complexity. Examples:
independent study, extension activities, mentorships, & tier II - III assignments
Examples of Programs
for the Gifted:
1 hour a day, 5 days a week
(IB program)
(Optional progam)
How do we implement
these programs
in our school?
Create a planning team and an enrichment team consisting of community volunteers, classroom teachers, psychologist, counselors, media specialist, parents, and principals.
Continue in-service training
Adopt a model like RTI
Student Orientation
Provide communication with interest groups such as parents and community, offer evening activites, recruit mentors, send home newsletters and emails, create a parent, teacher community association (PTCA), become advocates for the gifted, and create an advisory committee.
Maintain flexibility, monitor, and evaluate the program.
In conclusion, to have a successful gifted and talented program the above must be implemented with a diverse group of interested participants.
