Rezensionen

"As a gifted educator and differentiation coach, this book has now earned a permanent place in my professional library. It is filled with dog-eared pages that I am eager to share with the teachers with whom I collaborate. Stambaugh and Mofield's newest text is overflowing with applicable models to differentiate the content, process, and product of instructional material for advanced learners. These methods include how best to accelerate, embed depth and complexity, introduce abstract ideas, and adjust products to meet specific criteria. Each of the subject areas, including ELA, STEM, and social studies, are highlighted to support both self-contained and departmentalized teachers alike. As an instructional coach, my passion was immediately reignited as I began to imagine all the ways in which I can collaborate with teachers in a variety of grade levels and content areas to meet the needs of their diverse learning populations as a result of the strategies included in Stambaugh and Mofield's text."

"I am a general educator tasked with differentiating curriculum for advanced learners in my ELA classes. This text by Stambaugh and Mofield is officially a staple in my planning process. Organized by subject domains, it's filled with models and strategies that can be flexibly used in any classroom, and at any level, to bump up grade-level content for learners. It includes powerful examples of each model, explanations of each model, and project choices for each subject domain. It is relevant, simple, and clear, making it the perfect planning partner for the general educator aiming to differentiate for advanced learners. Already, I've chalked my class full of models from this text, adapting them to fit my existing curriculum and standards."

-Amber Whiting, General Educator, USA

"Finally, a curriculum resource that the world of gifted education has been waiting for! Stambaugh and Mofield's text strives to give teachers and gifted specialists models and frameworks that can aid in planning, implementing rigorous curriculum, and creating differentiated tasks. It addresses the need to add complexity, depth and abstractness to promote the development of expertise in the disciplines of language arts, social studies, STEM and visual arts. This resource includes practical, ready-made units for any teacher to get started with, followed by models, charts and frameworks that can be further applied to various units of study and student texts. It is the perfect guide to assist teachers with talent development and habits of thinking. This curriculum guide has the potential to impact and shape the future of teaching and learning in gifted education."
