Elevating Advanced Learners
Differentiation for Meaningful Growth (3-hour GT update)




This engaging 3-hour professional development session is designed to empower educators with strategies to enhance learning experiences for advanced students. Together, we will explore what meaningful differentiation looks like to ensure ongoing growth for learners who have already mastered grade-level material. Dive into practical approaches for: refining questioning techniques to challenge critical thinking; integrating project-based learning (PBL) for deeper engagement; effectively using Depth and Complexity Icons to elevate cognitive demands; and designing choice menus and open-ended activities to foster student agency and creativity. Leave with a toolkit of actionable strategies to engage advanced learners with rigor and relevance, inspiring them to thrive as independent, high-achieving thinkers in your classroom. Let’s move from good to great and create opportunities for every student to shine!
