instruction that is appropriate for students' abilities. This
provides opportunities to meet new challenges.
The Talent Development Model targets all
advanced students, including non-identified students, who
demonstrate a need for services.
Co-Plan
The Talent Development
Teacher joins the classroom teacher during planning sessions to
ensure that student activities are connected and interrelated in
order to facilitate student transfer of learning.

supports various approaches to cooperative teaching that make the
most of instructional time and increase the grouping possibilities.
This can include provisions delivered both in the regular classroom
and in the resource room.

students' learning and share responsibility for evaluating student
work to determine the course of future study.
