Week of March 8 Question 2

Why is flexible grouping needed when working with gifted students, aren't they all above grade level?

  1. According the the School-wide Cluster Grouping Model, grouping should be based on abilities and not achievement. Just because students are above the specific grade level, doesn't mean their abilities are all the sam. Therefore, flexible grouping needs to be in place to make sure all students are group according to ability and not achievement.

  2. I agree Brian. Flexing may even mean using different grade level classrooms to meet the needs of particular students.
