CLUSTER GROUPING HANDBOOK

Interview with EdNews

Cluster Grouping Handbook Order Form.pdf

In today’s standards-driven era, how can teachers motivate and challenge gifted learners and ensure that all students reach their potential? This book provides a compelling answer:

The authors explain how the model differs from grouping practices of the past. They present a roadmap for implementing, sustaining, and evaluating schoolwide cluster grouping. Practitioners will find a wealth of teacher-tested classroom strategies along with detailed information on identifying students for gifted cluster groups, gaining support from parents, and providing ongoing professional development.

Special attention is directed toward enfranchising and empowering gifted English Language Learners and other students from under-represented populations. The included CD-ROM (for Windows and Mac) features all of the reproducible forms from the book plus a PowerPoint presentation than can be used and modified for school staffs, gifted teachers, administrators, and parents. This is an essential resource for administrators, gifted education program directors, and classroom teachers.
