Differentiation and spiraling of instruction are integrated into my classroom activities. I believe that a combination of both concepts is needed for instruction to be effective.

Differentiated instruction and student choices are always a priority in my classroom as I plan lessons from day to day.

It gives me an opportunity to have the other students learn from the gifted students. I have to use any approach possible to challenge the gifted learner without losing the other ability learners. Using differentiation is a necessary tool that enables the gifted learners to interact with each other and also share their enthusiasm and/or knowledge. I have found this teaching style to be a very effective teaching tool for all learners.

I provide many activities that give the students the opportunity to create, evaluate, transform and perform to suite their needs.
