  • It had been said by many educators of the gifted that it is easier to define what differentiation of the curriculum is not than it is to define what differentiation of the curriculum is. Over the years, the concept of differentiating the curriculum for gifted students has changed commensurate to the changes in the definition of giftedness, the contemporary emphasis in general education, and the political and parental responses to general and gifted education. The many definitions of differentiation have resulted in the term becoming a referent for any learning experience that attends to individual differences. In reality, differentiation can be defined by the who—the learner and his or her needs, interest, and abilities; the what—the content and skills of the subject matter to be taught; the how—the pedagogy to be used to teach the content, skills, or both; and the where—the setting, grouping, or both needed to effectively implement the curriculum (the what) to the learner (the who). The original need to differentiate the curriculum for gifted students was based on the recognized strengths of these learners and the acknowledged inadequacy of the regular or core curriculum to meet these needs. The discrepancy theory assesses the core curriculum against the traits of gifted students in order to determine the missing curricular elements that would be responsive to the needs of students. This comparative analysis between the needs, interests, and abilities of gifted students and the content, processes, and product components of the core curriculum traditionally justified the purpose for a differentiated curriculum. To the degree that the core curriculum correlates with the defined attributes of gifted students, it is perceived as either appropriately or inappropriately differentiated.
