Gifted Cluster Model

​

The Resource-Cluster Model is an arrangement in which a group of identified gifted students are assigned to a classroom with a cluster (gifted) teacher who collaborates with the gifted resource teacher. The Gifted Cluster Model applies to grades 2-5. 

 

As the gifted resource teacher I will collaborate with the cluster teachers to ensure the curriculum and instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of our gifted students. I will be working with students with gifted or high academic abilities, who have indicated mastery of skills on special assignments in flexible groups. The program provides opportunities for gifted students to work independently, with intellectual peers, and with chronological peers.
