<p>In today's high-pressured atmosphere to "get the scores up," teachers and students find themselves faced with more and more highly-structured, prescripted lessons that allow for little creativity and exploration. However, both students and teachers deserve a balanced education that includes exciting opportunities to delve into areas of strong interest. An Enrichment Cluster Program presents a framework for offering these opportunities during the regular school week. </p>
<p>Authors Joseph Renzulli, Marcia Gentry, and Sally Reis present teachers and administrators with all the information and materials they need to develop a successful Enrichment Cluster Program. Seven simple steps show program leaders how to schedule and implement a program, and eight easy-to-follow guidelines help cluster facilitators create engaging and challenging enrichment clusters. This guidebook also includes over 50 pages of reproducible planning forms, surveys, assessment instruments, and staff development handouts; 11 ready-to-use staff development activities; a week-by-week timeline for implementation; a resource guide of how-to books appropriate for a program, and dozens of example cluster descriptions on topics ranging from flight to children's rights to web site design.</p>
