What, Why, and What If?
Igniting Inquiry to Differentiate for Gifted Learners in the Regular Education Classroom
Emily Mofield, Ed.D.
Day 1 – July 21, 9:00 am-noon Central Time: Content will focus on defining rigor with an emphasis on incorporating critical thinking strategies in instruction.
Day 2 – July 22, noon-3:00 pm Central Time: Content will focus on using creative thinking and problem-solving strategies as ways to extend and enrich student learning in the classroom.
Each day is a “stand alone” session, meaning participants may attend Day 2 without attending Day 1 and vice versa.
