Based on the belief that “a rising tide lifts all ships”, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) is a proven plan for infusing a broad range of high-end learning strategies, into existing school programs, and standard based reform initiatives. The major purpose of SEM, is to develop the gifts, and talents, of all students, by using gifted education teaching practices, with all students. Based on more than 15 years of research, the major features of the SEM include:
- A Total Talent Portfolio, that focuses on student strengths in academic areas, and that documents a broad range of interests and learning style preferences.
- High standards, and advanced levels of academic challenge to compensate for excessive drill, and practice found in many of today’s textbooks.
- Specific strategies for modifying and differentiating the curriculum in the regular classroom, in order to accommodate individual rates, and levels of learning.
- A hands on approach, to three interrelated types of enrichment, that focus on the application, rather than assimilation of knowledge, and the ways in which students products, and services can be brought to bear on authentic audiences.
Joseph Renzulli,and Sally Reis take you into schools to observe the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, in action. You will meet teachers, principals, and students, who have benefited from this easy-to implement plan. The SEM places a premium on local school involvement, and the belief that all students are capable of developing their unique talents through the use of challenging, and enriching teaching practices.
