Module+3-Differentiation+and+the+core+curriculum

This module covers teaching strategies and methods of curriculum differentiation to enhance the learning of gifted students in the mainstream classroom. It covers appropriate use of different, well-known enrichment models that international research has found to be effective with gifted and talented students, such as Bloom, Williams, Maker and Kaplan. It includes practical applications of pre-testing, curriculum compacting and individualised programming for teachers. It also contains templates for teachers to use in re-designing their own curriculum programmes to cover the needs of all students.
