Differentiated Instruction for Gifted

Support and Resources for the Gifted Student

All students in Wilmette benefit from differentiated instruction in the classroom. The differentiation support teacher and the classroom teacher work closely together to plan and provide learning experiences for our gifted students.

Our goals reflect the unique needs of these children:

Our goals for gifted students~

to tailor learning experiences to the characteristics that distinguish gifted students

to provide complex and stimulating learning experiences for gifted students who are capable of stretching well beyond the learning abilities of their peers

to make appropriate use of the wealth of knowledge and broader perspectives that gifted students bring to the classroom

to help students use their time productively

to help students maximize their capabilities in meaningful ways
