My study findings showed me that non-GATE students may benefit greatly from advanced learning strategies. My data showed that students who were at or below grade level increased their Reading Inventory scores more than the GATE students in the class. This data shows me that I need to consider new ways to reach the advanced learners in my classroom. The data also raises new questions relating to the group that I should be focusing on in my study. I am considering the question: do advanced learning strategies help improve reading, comprehension and vocabulary skills of students at grade level more than traditional ELA curriculum? Significant data findings also show that high percentages of students of all levels of achievement would like to be more challenged while at school. Pretty cool!

That's a great question, I always wonder the same, can advanced teaching strategies also be beneficial?

I love that this study showed you that the advanced teaching strategies can really benefit the non GATE students. This is so eye opening as it shows us as teachers that you never know what will have such a big impact on these students. The best part is that these students get the benefit of these advanced teaching strategies. Do you think you will continue to use them in the classroom?

Your study reminds me of something Linda Darling-Hammond said in our Flat Earth reading. I forget the page #, but she cited a study that showed how remedial students who received instruction from AP teachers performed better than in remedial classrooms.
