What is the Resource – Cluster Model? Gifted services are available to identified VBCPS students in their neighborhood schools through the resource-cluster model. The resource cluster model available in each school provides the potential for gifted resource teachers and core area cluster teachers to develop exciting, differentiated curriculum through a collaborative team effort. This model promotes optimum understanding of the needs of gifted children for all school staff, without creating an isolated learning environment. Gifted students interact with their teachers and classmates in a heterogeneous grouping, while attaining benefits through the modification of content, process, product, and learning environment. Who should I call if I have questions regarding the process? If you have questions about the gifted program, please email [email protected] or call the Gifted Education Testing Office at 757.263.6870. |
