Teacher Summer Seminar Update One hundred twenty teachers attended a three day seminar with Dr. Sandra Kaplan on differentiating curriculum in Park City. The seminar provided useful information on how to differentiate curriculum for gifted and talented learners and provided time for teachers to apply the principles to portions of their curriculum. We are grateful for the dedication of the teachers involved and the expertise of Dr. Kaplan and express our appreciation to all who were involved. Seminar attendees may obtain PDF copies of handouts and other seminar materials by clicking here. Our Gifted Online Conferences: A Gathering Place for All Gifted
