Curriculum compacting is one of the most well-researched and
commonly used ways of differentiating instruction to challenge
advanced learners. This practical and inexpensive method of
differentiating both content and instruction enables classroom
teachers to streamline the regular curriculum, ensure students'
mastery of basic skills, and provide time for stimulating
enrichment and acceleration activities. With information on the
history and rationale of curriculum compacting as well as
successful implementation strategies and multiple case studies, the
second edition of Curriculum Compacting introduces the strategies
that teachers need to understand to implement this differentiation
strategy for high-potential, highly motivated, and academically
talented and gifted students. 2017 NAGC Book of the Year Award
