<p>My district, where we currently serve middle schoolers<a></a><a></a>, is looking at ways to add elementary gifted services in the next year or two without adding staff. Current considerations include acceleration, clustering, and blending grades for a self-contained
classroom. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyone out there have recent experience with any of these service models at 1-4 grade levels? I'm looking for feedback on the effectiveness of these options as well as suggestions for any other service models we should investigate. I will also need
research to back any proposal, so if you have research to back your experiences / ideas, that would also be appreciated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feel free to contact me directly at <a href="mailto:gren_ebert@tccsa.net">gren_ebert@tccsa.net</a><a></a><a></a>. Thanks!</p>
