Reach to Achieve: Strategies to Stretch Student Thinking
How we can we stimulate, motivate, and challenge students while uncovering their strengths and cultivating their talents? This session highlights differentiation strategies to stretch student thinking, promote deep learning, and provide layers of challenge for gifted, advanced, and high-potential students. When students have opportunities to “reach” to their next levels of learning, these experiences reveal talent. Leave with concrete examples to support and extend student thinking across content areas and grade levels and with attention to equity and inclusion.
