  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!)
Make assignments more rigorous by making questions open-ended and requiring more thought. Try making lessons research-oriented to give students the chance to find information on their own.
