12. Program Model Review Guidelines
In order to serve our students, any model must:
Meet the Washington state requirements
Meet the needs of all gifted students regardless of race, gender, special needs, ELL, etc.
Meet the needs of students who qualify in just one or multiple areas

Re-title slide per slide #9?? “Service Model Review Guidelines”

13. Program Model Review Guidelines
There are obvious learning outcomes for HiCap students
Must be inclusive, not exclusive

14. Program Model Review Guidelines
In order to serve our students, any model must:
Take into account potentially small numbers of students in any one school
Be manageable within the district budget (additional HiCap students do not generate any additional revenue from the state)
Meet both academic and social needs

17. Research Process for HiCap Models
Your group will be assigned a model to research for serving HiCap students, including those who choose not to go to the magnet schools, and those who qualify in just one area. You will become our leaders in discussing that model.
The model must meet the state expectations.
Your group will be completing a data collection chart to help organize your research on this model.
Keep in mind the needs of the students that we profiled earlier as you complete the chart.
Highlight key ideas from your research to share out to the whole group
Kathleen

18. Sharing of Model Research
Choose 1-2 people in your group to share out the key ideas from your model research.
Take notes on your own chart from the other groups.
Kathleen

19. Next Steps
Continue consideration of the models with a focus on those that are most promising for Shoreline.
Look at our work in collecting information from other districts.
Consider how we might collect information on how our students, parents, and staff feel.
