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!)
One, include more critical thinking skills. This requiring DOK III and DOK IV assignments for the higher learners will challenge them while allowing struggling students to feel successful at the DOK I and DOK II levels. You can also give your students incentives. In my classroom, I have an all-star team. This team consists of about 10 students who have worked harder than other students and are moving a little faster. This changes every week, so any student can get onto the all-star team at any time. Plus, the ones who get on this team love it, and it gives the others students a reason to work hard. This makes it easier to focus on challenging the higher level learners as well. |
