  31. Curriculum Differentiation

  32. Yardsticks for a Differentiated Classroom by Carol Tomlinson There must be a balance between rigor and joy!

  33. Could-Should-Would Testby: Harry Passow • Always ask yourself: Does this activity/lesson for gifted learners pass the Could-Should-Would Test? Could most other students of this age/grade do it? Should most other students of this age/grade do it? Would most other students of this age/grade, if they knew the expectations, even want to do it? If the lesson/unit/activity does not pass the test, it is not defensible for gifted education!!!
