What support methods will you use?  ]]> 2018-11-14 17:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304424526 https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304951474 I think the easiest (read: laziest) way of challenging students in ELA would be to give them a bigger book/a classic text. A book on a lower readability level can be just as complex as a Dickens's novel. Of Mice and Men is a short text, but could be just as rigorous as Huckleberry Finn. The important thing is giving students questions to wrestle with and chew on.

I want to be very proactive about encouraging growth mindset in my classroom. I love what was said about struggle not equaling failure, but equaling learning. I was also a gifted student and this is something I still have a hard time accepting for myself. ]]> 2018-11-15 18:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304951474 doubetkj https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304964741 I've had a few students who are "twice exceptional" - both gifted and with an exceptionality (e.g., dyslexia for one, attention for another). They didn't show up as gifted on the screening because  
of their exceptionalities, but we (my team of teachers) made the proper accommodations anyway. The tests used to identify students are often limiting at best, biased at worst.]]> 2018-11-15 18:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304964741 doubetkj https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304967315 Tiered assignments, menus]]> 2018-11-15 18:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_bruno13/4vjuwjega7pm/wish/304967315
