Description
Educators are becoming more effective at identifying gifted students from diverse populations. Schools now question how to best provide services to all gifted students, including those previously under served, while making sure that all students are appropriately challenged. The Schoolwide Cluster Grouping Model (SCGM) is one solution that allows for full-time services to all gifted students and facilitates improved achievement for all, yet requires no significant additional funding. Learn how to implement and support the SCGM, group students for maximum achievement potential, prepare cluster teachers to teach in the model, and build staff and parental support.
