Rigor for Gifted Learners: Modifying Curriculum With Intellectual Integrity (NAGC Select Series)

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.
