As a gifted educator and differentiation coach, this book has now earned a permanent place in my professional library. It is filled with dog-eared pages that I am eager to share with the teachers with whom I collaborate. Stambaugh and Mofield's newest text is overflowing with applicable models to differentiate the content, process, and product of instructional material for advanced learners. These methods include how best to accelerate, embed depth and complexity, introduce abstract ideas, and adjust products to meet specific criteria. Each of the subject areas, including ELA, STEM, and social studies, are highlighted to support both self-contained and departmentalized teachers alike. As an instructional coach, my passion was immediately reignited as I began to imagine all the ways in which I can collaborate with teachers in a variety of grade levels and content areas to meet the needs of their diverse learning populations as a result of the strategies included in Stambaugh and Mofield's text.
