Differentiate your gifted classroom and address the specific needs of your gifted learners by designing experiences instead of lesson plans. Designing for Depth in the Classroom: A Framework for Purposeful Differentiation, by Andi McNair, is imparted in a refreshing, conversational tone and will guide participants through a new mindset and process for creating meaningful experiences that leave learners engaged, empowered, and motivated to move from surface-level learning to deep understanding. Topics such as project-based learning, authentic engagement, and supporting and encouraging learners are explored. Strategies include the 8C’s of Engagement, the Reflection Triangle, and the Power of Productive Struggle.
