Description

The School wide Enrichment Model is a systematic set of strategies for increasing student effort, performance and enjoyment, and for integrating a broad range of advanced-level learning experiences and higher-order thinking skills into any curricular area, course of study or pattern of school organisation. The package includes checklists for long and short term planning, procedures for developing school wide enrichment teams, strategies for creating program ownership and total faculty involvement, sample letters, memos and announcements for students, parents and faculty members, instruments for assessing students' strengths, interests and learning styles, and guidelines for developing interest development centres. The model also includes a taxonomy of more than 150 thinking skills and affective processes, a directory of more than 700 sets of enrichment materials, sample evaluation questionnaires and forms, lists of children's publishing opportunities, descriptions of advanced level resource books for students, guidelines for developing a faculty and community mentor system, and descriptions of advanced level student products from successful programs.
