A3: "DI for the appropriate level of giftedness is as important as the right medicinal dosage for a patient's needs"~Deborah Ruf. #mogtchat

mburstin1 Dec 1 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: Funny, we say this about regular classrooms all the time. Gifted doesn't mean one size fits all! #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Dec 1 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3b: Level 1 GT Ss have many needs met in GT prog but w/inc. GT levels Ss need extreme compacting, accel & possibly online courses #mogtchat

Jrene79 Dec 1 @ 9:25 PM EST

Q3. The same differentiation suggestions we have for RegEd Ts can work in GT classes - cluster grouping, spiraled curriculum, etc #mogtchat
