STRATEGIES FOR RIGEROUS ADVANCED AND GIFTED CLASSES  Learn how to amp up the rigor and provide high impact instruction to these specific student populations. Begin and understand how these classes differ from your basic students. You will begin to see what the teacher must ensure to provide a challenging and engaging curriculum for these types of students. 

How do we differentiate for our advanced and/or gifted classes? PACE DELIVERY PRODUCT DEPTH BREADTH

Change the Pace Many advanced or gifted students will either already know the concepts to be taught, or will learn them very quickly. If a student can show mastery of the topic of instruction, their time is better spent extending their knowledge through an enrichment or extension activity.

Change the Delivery Gifted and advanced students need instruction in skills they have not yet mastered, but whole class modeling and repetition of concepts may be frustrating. Students may need to participate in the first lesson on a new topic, and then work independently to complete the task. They may not need lessons that review the same topic, but could be ready to move forward and need instruction on the next step. Gifted and advanced students may also work on the same skills using higher-level texts or books with more abstract concepts.

Change the Product By changing the product, gifted and advanced students are allowed an opportunity to apply their knowledge of content to their other talents and abilities. An alternative product may also allow students to apply their knowledge by delving deeper into the standards. Many gifted and advanced students are interested in technology or the arts. Allow students to use these interests to create their final product. Remember that you don’t need to know how to use a piece of software or technology - the student does!

Add Depth Gifted and advanced students often quickly master the facts of a new concept. They should be encouraged to delve more deeply into concepts that are covered in our standards. These students need to focus on the problems and issues rather than the basic facts and information. Allow the student to choose one specific area of the topic of study that interests them and encourage them to become an “expert” on that topic.

Add Breadth Gifted and advanced students often are able to make connections between ideas, subject areas, and concepts. Encourage students to see the “big picture” by connecting what they are studying to other curricular areas, the world, and/or current events, and examining how one influences the other. Use choice and flexibility to allow students to find an interest that they are passionate about and connect that passion to the broader topic.
