8. 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
Michael

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

10. 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
Michael

11. Research Based Models Self-Contained Classrooms at Home School
Differentiation/Flexible Grouping in the General Education Classroom

12. Results of Our Straw Poll on Service Models
Kathleen: Looking at data generated by committee (Rankings about minutes, plus10 for whole group discussion and to fill in chart)

20. Ranking Activity
In pairs, review the 6 models and rank in terms of how well they meet our needs in both:
Service in one area
Service at home schools
Share your rankings with another pair and reach consensus
Share with the whole group
Kathleen
Question: Do we want a single ranking for each model or two separate rankings for service in one area vs. service at home schools? I am assuming (based on our conversation this morning) we wanted just ONE ranking for our chart on the next page. This ranking should take into account our two needs (service in one area and service at homeschools).

22. Activity to Recommend Service Model(s)
Table group discussion:
Which service models stand out as strong options?
Are there any models that clearly don’t need to be considered further?
Consider the top 2 models:
In pairs, list advantages and challenges of one model on poster. The other table pair does the same for the other model.
Be ready to share with the other pair at your table and whole group if time allows.
Kathleen
