Building on the foundational understanding developed in Level 1, this course moves educators from awareness into application. We will explore how to translate an understanding of highly able learners into concrete, everyday classroom practice, from compacting curriculum for students who have already mastered content, to designing tasks with genuine depth and complexity, to knowing when and how acceleration serves a student well. We will also address the intersection of giftedness with learning differences and disabilities, helping you build multi-tiered systems of support for the full range of highly able learners in your classroom.

Suited for educators who have completed Level 1 or have equivalent prior experience in gifted education and are ready to deepen their practice.

    1. Participants will learn and implement evidence-based strategies for differentiating a curriculum for gifted learners.

    2. Participants will discuss, analyze and evaluate various instructional models designed for gifted students.

    3. Participants will evaluate the use of assessment as an instructional strategy and identify various types of assessment strategies used before, during, and after instruction that provide evidence of student growth and understanding.

    4. Participants will identify varied expressions of advanced aptitudes, skills, creativity and conceptual understandings manifested by gifted and talented learners.

    5. Participants will develop an increased awareness of the cognitive and affective social-emotional needs of gifted and talented learners.

    6. Participants will demonstrate understanding of the terminology used in the development of curriculum for students who are gifted, including such terms as acceleration, enrichment, and differentiation.

    7. Participants will analyze case studies and use the structure of curriculum compacting to adjust the pace and complexity of course units and content.

    8. Participants will use the prompts of depth and complexity to embed rigor and challenge into questions and tasks asked of gifted students.

    9. Participants will develop plans for integrating selected and appropriate strategies into instructional plans for the gifted.

    10. Participants will analyze and explain issues in conceptions, definitions and identification of gifts and talents, including those of individuals from diverse backgrounds. 

    11. Participants will explore the academic and affective characteristics and learning needs of individuals with gifts, talents and disabilities.

    12. Participants will demonstrate the ability to match instructional strategies and materials to individual needs of students.
