[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what exactly you want to be done. I have been exposed to a lot of gifted programs--The magnets that group high achievers together and instruct exactly one year ahead? The enrichment programs that pull out once a week and do a project on Egypt? IMO, these programs are not much better than a good teacher differentiating where she can in the general ed classroom. The truth is a child reading at a 6th grade level in third grade will be fine with a third grade language arts program. A reading level is a very small part of the whole program. Math is trickier IMO. There seems to be an urge to expose a child to higher math sooner, but in reality there is a lot a child can be exposed to without pushing them forward that will enrich their conceptual understanding. [/quote] Teachers who are truly good at in-class differentiating are unfortunately really few and far between.[/quote]
