Following the popularity of Opening Doors, Nora Friedman and Michele Webb provide more helpful, hands-on tips for bringing the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) to life in your school. Readers learn how to create a schedule that includes a weekly time for enrichment learning experiences, as well as ideas for injecting interest-based experiences into the regular curriculum, test-prep activities, and the entire school. Chapters cover designing a traditional Enrichment Cluster Program, using lunch and recess for enrichment, curriculum-based enrichment, developing a Yellow Pages-style listing of student expertise, and more. Friedman and Webb also share how they use the principles of SEM to promote a can-do attitude and address mandates, problem areas in the curriculum, and other school issues. To save administrators and educators time, many reproducible handouts and forms are included in the appendices. Use this book to enhance your Schoolwide Enrichment Model program or simply to give your students more opportunities for enrichment learning.
