[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another important benefit of Model 1 (cohorted classes) is that my understanding is that teachers of ELC classes get mandatory, focused training on how to teach and support gifted kids. General elementary school teachers get little to no training on this.[/quote] I haven’t seen training as part of the plan, I hope it is- for either model. Model 2 may need even more training on handling the larger range of students in the same class and meeting everyone’s needs.[/quote] +1 Model 2 is much harder to implement meaningfully. Teachers need to be very adept at integrating enrichment into the class when they also have below-grade level students. In fact what will happen in most classrooms is that students who are above grade level will receive no enrichment. [/quote]
