Most districts are now requiring teachers to provide data-driven differentiation. What can you do for those students who are labeled as gifted learners? If they are already high achievers, it can be difficult to help them reach a higher level of success. These tips will help you and your students achieve their goals and keep you from pulling your hair out! Let's start by defining each of the terms. What does data-driven mean? Data-driven is when data from test scores are broken down and used as the foundation for instruction. What is differentiating instruction? Differentiating instruction is when teachers modify instructional ideas, tools, resources, and/or activities to meet the students' individual needs. For example, teachers may use leveled books so each student can read about the same material on their own reading level. Who is the gifted learner? A gifted child may have some of the following traits: creative extreme curiosity sensitive perfectionist vivid imagination resourceful independent quick thinking self-critical excellent reasoning skills learns quickly without extra practice advanced sense of humor extensive vocabulary an avid reader leadership abilities very observant interested in cause-effect relations dominate discussions variety of interests good at synthesizing self-confident concerned with justice and fairness risk-taker very inquisitive full of energy able to work independently The identity of a gifted learner is different in each state. Find your State Definitions of Giftedness The tips below helped my gifted learners show improvement throughout the year and on their academic progress assessments. 1. READING The best way to increase reading test scores for the gifted learner is to have high-quality literature at their fingertips and provide students with the opportunity to have discussions focused on critical thinking questions. Their lessons should be developed using classic stories and novels. The Junior Great Books Series is an exceptional choice. It offers both fiction and nonfiction text. The fictional anthologies have high-quality literature that is based around student-centered discussions for comprehension and critical thinking. It also includes writing. The nonfiction series offers high-quality informational text with an inquiry-based learning format. Reading classic novels is another option. The following is a list of some of my favorite classic novels: Secret Garden Treasure Island Charlotte's Web Anne of Green Gables A Wrinkle in Time The Hobbit Black Beauty Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Are you looking for a Secret Garden Unit that will keep your students engaged in higher-level thinking in every chapter? In addition there is a vocabulary quiz, character chart, and test! Are you looking for critical-thinking skill questions and plans for any book? These may be helpful: HIGHER-LEVEL REASONING- BOOK RESPONSE QUESTIONS READING STRATEGIES WORKSHEETS 2. MATH The best way to increase math test scores for the gifted learner is by acceleration. Enrichment definitely helps, but acceleration gets the job done. Most gifted learners can learn at a quicker rate and don't need review and extra practice. If you can allow your gifted students progress through the curriculum at a faster rate, then you can use higher grade-level concepts once finished with the grade-level plans. These students will be able to grasp the grade-level material as well as advanced material in one year. Most gifted learners will be able to follow written instructions. If not, a quick lesson for the small group may be needed. Remember: They don't need the repetitive practice. Give them an anchor chart or poster with directions and examples or a quick video from Khan Academy and wahhhlllaaaa! 3. PRIOR TO THE STATE TEST Even if you haven't had the time for much differentiating throughout the year, this next idea will be helpful prior to the test. First, make sure you have the standards for a grade level higher. Then, highlight vocabulary terms in both reading and math as well as advanced math concepts. Create three lists of 12-20 new words and/or concepts. Three weeks prior to the state test, provide a list each week to the gifted learner. While you are reviewing grade-level content with the rest of your class, these students will be learning new words and concepts. It can be achieved through self-learning or a project-based activity. It works well independently or in a small group. The gifted learner should be accountable for their learning through grading the project or an assessment. I hope these ideas help you differentiate for your gifted learners!!!!! Connect With Me! TPT Store Facebook Pinterest My Blog
