  Case: Higher Level Learners
Mrs. Smith has a class of gifted/advanced students as well as a class of advanced/regular ed students. Mrs. Smith has a hard time "challenging" the higher level learners in the advanced and gifted classes. She establishes high expectations and requires more effort from students in those classes, however the gifted students do not refer to her class as a challenging one. What are some suggestions for Mrs. Smith?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In order to challenge the higher-level learners, Mrs. Smith should provide these students with more reading and writing activities. Specifically, she should utilize lessons that incorporate document based writing, analyzing texts, and student-centered projects. All three of these assignments will engage students and promote critical thinking. Document based writing, analyzing texts, and completing student-centered projects will require students to not only learn and understand the material, but will force them to apply it to their work.

Comments: I think this would all be very helpful. She needs to incorporate more papers, and more things that require research because that is more challenging then just writing down opinions or reading from a book and answering questions.
