New Enrichment Network
Dr. Reis presentation on Enrichment Clusters in Connecticut had a profound affect on my thinking this week. I also attended Ben Wilkoff’s presentation on the Academy of Discovery Model. I am trying a new model using a Social Network for an Enrichment Cluster (based on the Joseph Renzulli’ s Schoolwide Enrichment Model). By forming a social network, students from rural areas or in schools with limited funds for a full SEM program can participate in enrichment clusters. Students in the Enrichment Network on NING will gain valuable skills in utilizing 21st Century technology tools while exploring areas of interest. If your school is interested in having students participate in this beta version please contact me.

I’m came over here for more info because your slideshow on the GE 2.0 ning site is interesting. I’m probably going to share with my daughter & her teachers. One question though, was Dr. Reis talking about the use of Enrichment Clusters in CT? If so – where do I find them?
Thanks!

There is lots of information on the Schoolwide Enrichment Model and Enrichment Clusters on the UCONN web site http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/sem/semart.html and also at http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/nrcgt/resource.html#95118
Hope this helps.
