[Ohiogift] New PD opportunity (1 semester hour of academic credit)

[Croft, Laurie J]

The Belin-Blank Center (at the University of Iowa) is offering a new book study this fall for one semester hour of academic credit, available online from September 10 – 30 and taught by Dr. Kimberley Chandler.


Effective Curriculum for Underserved Gifted Students, reviewing the book by the same name, helps educators better understand essential elements of curriculum design and delivery for gifted students.  Importantly, at a time when gifted programs are attempting to identify traditionally underserved students, the class will explain the need for a differentiated curriculum for typically underrepresented students, including children of poverty and those who are from culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Students will develop confidence in using practical, evidence-based strategies with high-ability learners.



Dr. Kim Chandler (@DrKChandler) noted that “This book study will help to bridge research and practice through examining effective strategies gleaned from various studies conducted with underserved populations.”
