Rigor for Gifted Learners: Modifying Curriculum With Intellectual Integrity

Many educators differentiate less for gifted students than for struggling students. The intensity of today’s standards may increase that disparity unless teachers access practical research- and evidence-based strategies to promote differentiation for gifted and potentially gifted students while implementing standards with intellectual integrity. This book explains the continuous learning needs of high-ability learners and offers research-based, high-yield instructional strategies, curricular modifications, social-emotional interventions that effectively enhance gifted students’ success, and assessments aligned to learning targets and gifted characteristics to document deeper understanding.
