Course Overview
73% of teachers agree that the brightest students are too often bored and under-challenged in school. This course confronts that problem head-on. Winebrenner and Brulles define what mastery actually looks like, then make the case that once a student has demonstrated it, sitting through the same lessons and completing the same homework isn’t just unnecessary — it’s a disservice.
You’ll learn practical strategies for differentiating curriculum to meet the needs of gifted and high-achieving students within your existing classroom structure. The course pushes you to evaluate your current teaching methods and implement adjustments that give these students a real chance to thrive rather than coast.
