Differentiated Instruction Work Group

bullet State rule requires that an educational plan (EP) be developed for every student who is eligible for gifted service. The EP is intended to describe the student’s needs beyond the general curriculum and specially designed instruction ̶ differentiated instruction ̶ to ensure the student makes progress according to the goals on the EP.

bullet Since every student must work toward mastery of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, how might the curriculum be differentiated to add challenge and rigor?
