The Schoolwide Cluster Grouping Model (SCGM) is a method for providing full-time gifted education services without major budget implications, and with potential to raise achievement for all students. With the SCGM, all students are purposely placed into classrooms based on their abilities, potential, or achievement. A group of gifted identified students is clustered into a mixed ability classroom with a teacher who is trained to differentiate for gifted students. When clustered, the classes have a range of abilities. Teachers modify or extend grade level standards according to the students’ needs and abilities and the composition changes each year.
Tombstone USD doesn’t have a gifted program and we received limited funds to create a program at our district. This could be an excellent solution and meet the needs of all our students.
