Gifted Cluster
Grouping Program
Gifted students in grades
1-5 are placed in small groups (called clusters) in a larger,
mixed-ability, regular classroom known as a Gifted Cluster Classroom.
Teachers in these classrooms receive training in gifted education,
differentiation and acceleration. The teachers modify the regular
education curriculum to meet the individual needs of the gifted
students. Below are links to some articles pertaining to gifted
