[quote=Anonymous]Loudoun is experimenting a new five-day a week Futura (GT) model in seven elementary schools (first year GT students only) this year. It’ll be expanded to more schools in the future. The old one-day a week pullout model was more about enrichment in the form of creative projects. The new model incorporates more advanced curriculum (math, English etc). It’s getting closer to what Fairfax County has but Loudoun puts all these Futura students within the same school inside one regular classroom with other non-GT students. The teaching will be differentiated and the GT teacher will mainly work with the GT students inside the classroom. There will be a partnership between the GT teacher and the regular classroom teacher. Basically, the classroom will have 6-7 GT students and 18-19 non-GT students. Not sure how well the program will be executed, but feedback will be collected throughout the year for future improvement /adjustment.[/quote]
