Biography
After teaching science for more than 15 years, both overseas and in the U.S., Laurie E. Westphal now works as an independent gifted education and science consultant. She enjoys developing and presenting staff development on differentiation for various districts and conferences, working with teachers to assist them in planning and developing lessons to meet the needs of their advanced students.
This publication for grades 3-5 is designed to address the needs of a classroom that includes special needs or limited English-proficient students. The activities included on the menus are engaging and appropriate. Most of the menus contain wide-ranging choices, with some options involving art, technology, drama, and experiments. In addition, many activities contain real-world applications. ,Jennifer Orr,Teaching Children Mathematics, 2/1/14
