Growing Up Greatness - Differentiation Part 1
Differentiation or personalised learning is a vital skill for all teachers in any Australian classroom, where the range of student abilities, interests and needs are so varied, including students with disability and those who may be gifted and/or talented. This workshop will examine the key elements of making differentiation work in a diverse-ability classroom, including considering the role of assessment, thinking skills, questioning and responsive teaching. Parts 1 and 2 in this workshop series are linked, however participants may choose to complete only one. Please see false for more information and how to register.

This professional learning is designed to give teachers increased understanding of the intellectual learning needs of gifted and talented students, and confidence in order to design differentiated and challenging
learning experiences. Teachers will explore the implications of Passow's Rule, and examine options such as compaction, high order thinking and William’s strategies in order to provide appropriate challenge for
gifted and talented learners. Parts 1 and 2 in this workshop series are linked, however participants may choose to attend Part 2 without having completed Part 1. See above for more information and how to register.
