=Welcome to the Holmes Differentiation Resources Wiki!=

In this Wiki, you will find resources for planning differentiated activities for your gifted students and advanced learners. In the planning section, there are articles on differentiation strategies and templates to use to guide you in your planning. Let me know if you found any of these resources helpful, if you need further support in using one of these templates or sites, or if you need other resources that you did not find here. Under the Discussion area you can let me know what is missing or ask me a question about the resources. I will be notified when you post something on the discussion board. Thank you for all you do for our gifted students and advanced learners!

These students need special nurturing and understanding. This site also has a chart which compares high achievers, creative thinkers, and gifted learners. All three types of students need differentiation, but the type and frequency of differentiation would be different for each group.
