Welcome
Dr. T. Roger Taylor, in his 35 years as a classroom teacher, administrator, professor and internationally-known educational consultant, has authored/co-authored thousands of integrated, interdisciplinary thematic curriculum units. The units are written based on the AHA! (Analyzing Human Activities) Model, which is a differentiated curriculum model created by Dr. Taylor. This unique model includes specific application of the most recent brain research, multiple intelligences and constructivist hands-on project-centered learning in alignment with state defined benchmarks and standards.
Roger specializes in curriculum design of differentiated curriculum for the special needs learner as well as the highly gifted student. Both populations, special needs learners and gifted students, are highly "at-risk." With high stakes testing, the push has been to teach to the students that can attain the "proficient" level on standardized tests, ignoring the gifted (because they will "get it anyway") and the low achievers (they are not "worth" the extra effort numerically). Dr. Taylor's AHA! Model meets the needs of all the students in a very organized, easy to use manner. Good-bye to textbook driven education, and hello to relevant, higher-order thinking skills! Teachers who use Roger's model and teaching strategies are finding success in closing the achievement gap.
