4.7.3 Making it work: Supporting and measuring growth in a gifted cluster grouping model
In many countries cluster-grouping has become a prevalent model for serving gifted students. Schools experiencing success with the model have methods in place for measuring and documenting growth. Learn how to prepare for program evaluation in your cluster-grouping model by creating systems that track student achievement, determine necessary training, and monitor student populations identified and served. Participants learn to use school data to effectively plan advanced C&I, identify criteria for documenting student performance, provide requisite teacher training, and make effective student placements. Achievement studies for all students in schools that cluster group gifted students will be shared.
