Gagné
Gifted students are those whose potential is distinctly above average in one or more of the following domains:
intellectual, creative, social and physical.
Talented students are those whose skills are distinctly above average in one or more areas of human performance.

Curriculum differentiation
Extension: the deepening of students’ knowledge, understanding and skills.
Enrichment: broadening of the curriculum to develop knowledge, application, thinking skills and attitudes to a degree of complexity appropriate to the students’ developmental level (Braggett, 1997).

Curriculum differentiation
In a differentiated curriculum teachers offer different approaches to what students learn (content), how students learn (process) and how students demonstrate what they have learned (product).
Tomlinson & Allan (2000)

Differentiated programming
Differentiated programming is Differentiated programming isn’t
• having high expectations for all students • permitting students to demonstrate mastery of material they already know and to progress at their own pace through new material • providing different avenues to acquiring content, to processing or making sense of ideas, and to developing products • providing multiple assignments within each unit, tailored for students with differing levels of achievement • allowing students to choose with the teacher’s guidance, ways to learn and how to demonstrate what they have learned • flexible – teachers move students in and out of groups, based on students’ instructional needs.
• individualised instruction – it is not a different lesson plan for each student each day • assigning more work at the same level to high–achieving students • all the time – often it is important for students to work as a whole class • using only the differences in student responses to the same class assignment to provide differentiation • giving a normal assignment to most students and a different one to advanced learners • limited to subject acceleration – teachers are encouraged to use a variety of strategies.

The six profiles of gifted and talented students

![Page 19: Differentiating the curriculum](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a618fb47959133d8b45c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Type III: The Underground
Generally middle-school females Hide their giftedness to feel more included with a peer group May be a rapid transformation
![Page 20: Differentiating the curriculum](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a618fb47959133d8b45c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 22: Differentiating the curriculum](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a618fb47959133d8b45c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Type VI: The Autonomous Learner
Learned to use the system to create opportunities for themselves Strong, positive self-concepts Successful Receive positive attention Independent and self-directed Personal power Willing to fail and learn from it
