[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that the model above isn't really working at the lower grade level. There if very little differentiation even though FCPS claims to allow children to learn a year ahead starting in kindergarten. [/quote] Studies have shown that gifted students received no differentiation about 84% of the time. (Carol Ann Tomlinson, Differentiation for Gifted and Talented Students) Differentiation is an OK concept, but it is rarely followed through on. Cluster Grouping can work, but it requires a teacher willing to differentiate with the time to do so. Many are not willing or will only differentiate in limited amounts or in one or two subjects. Others are willing, but laws like NCLB place all the emphasis on the struggling student and force the neglect of the gifted learner. [/quote]
