TEACHING GIFTED STUDENTS IN THE REGULAR EDUCATION CLASSROOM
Twenty First Century Skills and Differentiation

What were you learning about? What did you do? Why do you think you remember these
types of lessons?

Read this article from Ed Week . Let’s use a Socratic Seminar to discuss. Group Goals
Focus on ideas and values in the text. Keep an open mind. Invite everyone to share their ideas. Use others’ names. Remember that one person speaks at a time.
Advanced Goals Test assumptions and explore inferences. Acknowledge changes in your perspective. Offer a more global interpretation of a previous statement.
Socratic Seminar
Focuses on Socrates' theory that it is more important to enable students to think for themselves than to merely fill their heads with "right" answers.
Engaged his pupils in dialogues by responding to their questions with questions, instead of answers.
Socratic seminars explore ideas, values, and issues drawn from readings or art works chosen for their richness.
Leaders help participants to make sense of a text and of their own thinking by asking questions about reasoning, evidence, connections, examples, and other aspects of sound thinking.
Seminars are always followed by periods of reflection and discussion about what has been experienced.
Socratic Seminar Questions
Open-ended: Questions are designed to elicit multiple perspectives. Numerous answers can be correct as long as the students stay on topic.
Thought-provoking: To start, questions should spark numerous responses. Then, they should challenge students to evaluate and synthesize their ideas.
Clear: Participants should be able to understand right away what the facilitator is asking. This means phrasing questions carefully to keep them short and simple, even when the topic is complex.
Socratic Questioning (R.W. Paul)1. Questions for clarification: Why do you say that? How does this relate to our discussion?
2. Questions that probe assumptions: What could we assume instead?
How can you verify or disapprove that assumption?
3. Questions that probe reasons and evidence: What would be an example?
What is....analogous to? What do you think causes to happen...? Why:?
Socratic Questioning, Cont.
4. Questions about Viewpoints and Perspectives: What would be an alternative?
What is another way to look at it? Would you explain why it is necessary or beneficial, and who benefits? Why is the best? What are the strengths and weaknesses of...? How are...and ...similar? What is a counterargument for...?
5. Questions that probe implications and consequences: What generalizations can you make?
What are the consequences of that assumption? What are you implying? How does...affect...? How does...tie in with what we learned before?
Socratic Questioning, Cont.
6. Questions about the question: What was the point of this question?
Why do you think I asked this question? What does...mean? How does...apply to everyday life?
7. Questions that Probe Purpose: What is the purpose of ... ? Was this purpose justifiable? What is the purpose of addressing this question at this
time? What is the purpose of the main character in this story?
Socratic Questioning, Cont.
8. Questions that Probe Concepts: What is the main idea we are dealing with? Why/How is this idea important? Do these two ideas conflict? If so, how? What main theories do we need to consider in figuring out ... ? 9. Questions that Probe Inferences and Interpretations: What conclusions are we coming to ... ? What is the conclusion based on? How did you reach that conclusion? What do you think of ...? How to interpret the data?

Curriculum Compacting
Reis et al. (1993) Up to 50% of the grade level curriculum in
mathematics, language arts, science or social studies could be eliminated
Teachers struggled to replace the curriculum with high-quality, advanced content
Importance of Pretesting Learning Contracts
Flexible Grouping (Heacox, 2002) Responsive to student needs Fluid membership Different activities for different groups Grouped and regrouped as appropriate Occurring as needed Based on individual students

Tiered Lessons
Tiered lessons focus on a specific learning standard, but provide students opportunities to work towards that learning objective at their own personal readiness level.
