TAG - Challenging High-End Learners

The purpose of this statewide project is to provide Oregon educators with samples of differentiated curriculum across content areas, K-12, that challenge high-end learners while addressing the Oregon standards and benchmarks. The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) sponsored this project and worked closely with TAG educators across the state to develop the differentiated curriculum samples. Extensive resources and support materials, such as graphic organizers for use with a broad range of students, are included.

Differentiated Curriculum

The sample lessons in this document are not intended to be prescriptive in nature, but rather they offer suggestions of how to meet the needs of the high-ability learner.
