13. Research time… Please read the general information on curriculum models found at this website: http://www.nagc.org/index.aspx?id=1839 then look at the appropriate information on your topic on the next few slides.

14. NEXT>>>> Use the websites for your model on the following slides to research and answer the questions on your gifted programming model using the following 4 questions (next slide). These questions will be on the slides you will be using to present with next week during the Elluminate session.

15. Questions to research and be prepared to present on week 27 #1 What is the background on this model? (Who created it and when? What is the proclaimed purpose of the model?) #2 What is the basic structure of this model? You are welcome to upload a graphic organizer - just email it to me the day before the presentations. #3 Why would this model be helpful in meeting the learning needs of gifted students K-12? #4 What evidence of this model is available either in GCPS or other schools/school systems? (How practical do you think it is for implementation?)
