This session is part of the ESC Region 11 GT Summit, a one-day event designed to offer educators a personalized GT Update tailored to their specific needs through engaging and targeted learning experiences. This session counts as 1.5 hours of GT Update credit with a focus on differentiated curriculum for gifted learners. How can secondary teachers effectively challenge advanced learners while maintaining engagement for all students? The AACES (Advanced Academics Curriculum Evaluation System) framework provides a structured approach to differentiating content, process, and product to ensure that gifted and high-achieving students are appropriately challenged. In this session, participants will explore how to evaluate their current curriculum through the lens of AACES and implement meaningful adjustments that promote critical thinking, depth, and complexity. Through practical examples and interactive discussions, teachers will leave equipped with strategies to enrich their instruction and maximize student potential in secondary classrooms.
