4.9.6 Total School Cluster Grouping (TSCG): A Talent Development Approach to Programming in K-6
Total School Cluster Grouping (TSCG) is a programming model designed to meet the needs of students with gifts and talents and address the learning needs of all students, thereby benefitting all teachers and students. In TSCG, gifted students are placed in a classroom with other gifted students and the range of achievement levels is reduced in every teacher’s classroom. TSCG results in more students identified over time as high achieving and fewer students as low achieving, with more students from underserved populations identified at higher achievement levels over time. Additionally, student achievement increases, and teachers use gifted education pedagogy with all students.
