Join us over four Friday mornings this summer for coffee and community!  We’ll gather virtually to explore Emily Mofield’s new book - "Vertical Differentiation for Gifted, Advanced, and High-Potential Students".  The book outlines 25 engaging tools and strategies to stretch student thinking, promote deep learning, and provide layers of challenge in the classroom and beyond. Inside the book are innovative strategies around:AnalysisProblem-Solving:  

• Understanding the Problem
• Problem- Solving: 
• Creating and Evaluating Solutions
• Creative Thinking: 
• Making Connections
• Constructing Arguments 
• Metacognition
• Planning for Deep Learning and Differentiation

Each strategy is expertly designed to foster deep inquiry and conceptual understanding by guiding students to justify conclusions, apply critical and creative thinking, develop solutions to real-world problems, and transfer learning across contexts. Packed with both “tried and true” thinking models and new, innovative ideas with concrete examples, this resource ensures that no matter where students are in their learning journey, they’ll find themselves challenged and engaged.  All students need opportunities to use higher-order thinking and engage in deep learning.  This book is beneficial to all teachers - cluster teachers, general education teachers, curriculum designers, teachers of honors classes seeking to differentiate curriculum between sections, and others.  

The class can only run if we have a minimum of 10 registered participants.
