Riassunto:

Total School Cluster Grouping is a specific form of cluster grouping that has a research base, theoretical rationale, and model for successful implementation in schools. Total School Cluster Grouping and Differentiation details how the Total School Cluster Grouping Model provides full-time services to high-achieving, high-ability elementary students, helps all students improve their academic achievement and educational self-efficacy, enables teachers to more effectively and efficiently meet the diverse needs of their students, and weaves gifted education and talent development “know-how” into the fabric of all educational practices in the school. The book also includes practical methods for quickly and easily differentiating lessons and injecting challenge, interest, and student ideas into classwork and projects. This thorough resource provides educators with the tools and guidelines necessary to implement this model in their school.
