The Schoolwide Enrichment Model: A How-to Guide for Talent
Development (3rd ed.) presents a common sense approach for helping
students achieve and engage in joyful learning. Based on years of
research, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) is founded on
highly successful practices originally developed for programs for
gifted students. The SEM promotes "a rising tide lifts all ships"
approach to school improvement by applying general enrichment
strategies to all students and opportunities for advanced level
follow-up opportunities for superior learners and highly motivated
students. This guidebook shows educators step by step how to
develop their own SEM program based on their own local resources,
student population, and faculty strengths and interests. Instead of
offering students a one-size-fits-all curriculum, the model helps
educators look at each student's strengths, interests, learning
styles, and preferred modes of expression and capitalize on these
assets. The book highlights the model's fundamentals and underlying
research and provides information about organizational components,
service delivery options, and resources for implementation. The
book suggests methods for engaging and challenging identified
gifted students and provides practical resources for teachers using
the SEM with all students.
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
Winner
Using the Schoolwide Enrichment Model With Technology is an
extension of a talent development model implemented in more than
2,500 schools across the U.S. and widely used internationally. More
than 40 years of research and development have documented the
effectiveness of the SEM approach to promoting higher level
thinking skills and creative productivity. This solution-oriented
book, unlike other books focused on using technology in the
classroom, recognizes that digital technologies are changing and
evolving at lightning speeds. Our effective skills for using
technology transcend time by focusing on how to find and use
digital resources and tools rather than listing the resources that
already exist. Focusing on the skills that support critical
thinking and problem solving, decision making, and communication,
the authors seamlessly merge technology to launch students toward
independent productivity. This accessible and highly practical
guide is rich with examples that will change the way you think
about education while providing hands-on “how-to” guidance for
creating a culture of excellence and innovation in your school and
classroom.
Using the Schoolwide Enrichment Model in Mathematics: A How-to
Guide for Developing Student Mathematicians applies the teaching
and learning strategies of the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) to
the math classroom. Based on more than 40 years of research and
development and used in schools around the world, the SEM approach
focuses on promoting higher level thinking skills and creative
productivity. Using this approach in mathematics, this new
guidebook promotes the use of the Mathematical Practices outlined
in the Common Core State Standards as the underlying processes and
proficiencies that should be developed in students. Teachers learn
how to create a culture of enjoyment, engagement, and enthusiasm
for all students, and in particular gifted students, while
developing students who think and act like mathematicians. Easy to
read and use, the book incorporates many practical suggestions,
including views from the classroom and sample activities from
NAGC-award winning curriculum to motivate and challenge students.
Enrichment clusters engage students and facilitators in
student-driven, real-world learning experiences. Grouped by
interest, students working like practicing professionals apply
advanced content and methods to develop products and services for
authentic audiences. Clusters are scheduled during the school day
over an extended period of time and involve all students. This
updated second edition of Enrichment Clusters provides the
rationale for including this important enrichment program for all
students, suggestions for creating buy-in, and a step-by-step guide
for successful implementation of a self-sustaining enrichment
cluster program within the context of specific schools. Included
are staff development activities, suggestions for evaluation and
program improvement, guidelines for developing high quality cluster
experiences for teachers and students, suggested resources, and
everything one needs to develop, implement, and sustain a
top-quality enrichment cluster program.
