  2. Joseph Renzulli Enrichment Triad Model Original Creation: • Developed in 1977 as a model for identifying gifted students, providing enrichment to them (creative products) • The Schoolwide Enrichment Model (Renzulli and Reis, 1985) is a systematic set of strategies for increasing student effort, enjoyment, and creative productivity. It has been used successfully, nationally and internationally […] as a guide for designing and implementing programs for gifted and talented students. • Application to any level of student: Purcell, J. & Renzulli, J. S. (1995). • In recent years the model has been expanded so that the successful practices • associated with high-level learning can be applied to all students and to all • schools in an effort to realize the lasting and real changes that are the goals • of current school reform efforts.

  20. Lesson Planning Advice from Veteran Teachers • Never stop experimenting with lesson ideas and teaching approaches. Be continuously reflective about your teaching. If something does not work, be very honest with yourself about the possible causes. Restructure your lesson and try again. Always be flexible and willing to change.Patrick AllenCanton Intermediate SchoolCanton, CTGrade Levels: 6-8 • I wish I had known: that when I was enjoying the lesson, the kids were having fun, too. how to recognize the signs that I needed to alter the pace of a lesson (glazed expressions, fooling around, fidgeting, etc.). That quantity of work and assignments did not equate to quality.Sue RitchieNathaniel Morton Elementary SchoolPlymouth, MAGrade Levels: 3-5 • I wish I had known: As you complete a lesson, take notes on what worked, what you can change and on what didn't work. Next time, you'll have a good idea on what needs to be done to improve the lesson. Shannon Cegielski
