Description
In 1990, the Columbus Group defined giftedness as asynchronous development, yet two decades later, approaches to differentiation seldom consider complex multiple layers of individual developmental asynchrony. Many modifications differentiate curriculum, but do not match the wide-ranging asynchronous development of the individual child. This session expands the theory of developmental differentiation, focusing on the asynchronous developmental paths of gifted individuals. Drawing upon theorists Vygotsky, Dabrowski, Hollingworth, and Feldman, explore the wider and deeper development of the gifted individual required in the 21st century, and how developmental differentiation differs from common practice in today’s schools. Practical implementation strategies are provided.
