4 Theme: A rising tide lifts all ships… The main focus of the Schoolwide Enrichment Model is to apply the pedagogy of gifted education to total school improvement.All students, from struggling learners to our most advanced students do better in an atmosphere that values diversity among fellow students’ talent areas and unique strengths, and a broad range of learning options that are designed to promote high levels of achievement, creative productivity, motivation, and respect for the uniqueness of each student.

28 Questions that can be used to Escalate the Level of Discussions about Concepts and Ideas
29 Relationships How do these terms go together? Why do they belong together?Is there a name we can give to the relationship?Is there anything that does not belong?How are things alike?
30 Clarity Is it clear? What does it tell someone? What makes it clear to someone else?
31 Consistency with Evidence How is the statement supported by observations?How is the statement supported by the observations of others?How is the statement supported by data?How does evidence from nature support the statement?How well does your statement reflect the data?
32 Use of ExamplesCan you give an example?Why is it a good example for this purpose?Is there a better example for this purpose?Can you think of an original example?
33 Making Sense Is this what you expected? Are there any surprises here? Is there anything that does not fit?Does your hypothesis make sense, given what you know?Can you predict what will be the outcome?
34 Acknowledge Alternative Explanations How else can this be explained?Is your explanation or hypothesis plausible? Can it happen?What does this explanation say that the other doesn’t?
35 How is this term related to something we did before? Elaboration of a ThemeHow is this term related to something we did before?Is it familiar? If so, how?How is it related to anything you did in another class?
36 AccuracyIs the statement consistent with other information on the same topic?How does your model compare with other models?How does it compare with other representations?(From Gitomer, D. (1993).

38 Investigating real problems… The young person thinking,feeling, and doing like thepracticing professional...“We don’t expect little children to do great things, but we expect them to do little things in a great way…even if at a more junior level than adult scientists, writers, filmmakers, etc.”
39 What makes a problem real? What makes a Type III qualitatively different from a typical school assignment?1. Personalization of the problem2. Use of authentic methodology3. Developed to have an impacton a real audience (other thanor in addition to the teacher)

43 Choosing a Subject and Finding Information About It The beginner can easily discover a subject that interests him and that will be worthy of investigation—at least at an introductory level. He needs only to ask himself four sets of questions:The first set of questions is geographical. They center around the interrogative: “Where?” What area of the world do I wish to investigate? The Far East? Brazil? My country? My city? My neighborhood?The second set of questions is biographical. They center around the interrogative: “Who?” What persons am I interested in? The Chinese? The Greeks? My ancestors? My neighbors? A famous individual?The third set of questions is chronological. They center around the interrogative: “When?” What period of the past do I wish to study? From the beginnings till now? The fifth century B. C.? The Middle Ages? The 1780’s? Last year?The fourth set of questions is functional or occupational. They center around the interrogative: “What?” What spheres of human interest concern me most? What kinds of human activity? Economics? Literature? Athletics? Politics?Understamding History: A Primer of Historical Method (Gottschalk, 1969)
