Byrdseed.TV is a library of lessons, projects, and investigations that you can use directly with your students. You can just press play. It’s all planned for you.teachers can use directly with their advanced students. They can just press play. Everything is planned for them.

And we aim high. We know that there are students at every school who could not only meet this year’s standards, but could meet next year’s standards too, if they were given the chance. They just need the right challenge.

But we don’t chase the impossible idea of asking teachers to run three tasks for every single lesson (on-level, struggling, and advanced)! We aim high to begin with, and then scaffold down as necessary. Even students who might be labeled “struggling” have the opportunity to go as far as they are able. They are not artificially restricted to a low-level task.

And these lessons are in a format that is dead simple to use. They’re videos, broken into individual steps. Teachers can just press play – or students can run through them independently. We’ve planned everything out. It’s an actual solution to differentiation.

Byrdseed.TV has hundreds of video lessons your teachers can use with students. But it is also ready-made professional development.

Our Tell Your Story kit walks you through creating a short, concrete story that explains your gifted program. No more struggling to describe what you do to parents, teachers, and administrators.

Our Asking Better Questions series gives your teachers 7 videos on questioning techniques. For example, Who Asks Whom flips the typical classroom dynamic: instead of the teacher asking all the questions, students create and direct questions to each other.

Each video is short enough for a team meeting. You do not have to build the PD yourself. Just press play.
