Early finishers? Students who always want more? Need some quick options for them to choose from to extend and challenge them further? Feeling like you don't know what to do for your gifted population? Going Above and Beyond (GAAB) resources are helpful as they give you something quick and easy to keep them learning and inquiring in an engaging way. Each GAAB set contains 8 options for your students. You can set with each student how many they should try to accomplish in a given time period.

Teaching style
I strive to keep things learner-centered. It's about the students drawing their own conclusions, thinking critically, designing, creating, and making their own choices.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Each "lightbulb moment" with a student is the greatest joy for me!
