In today’s podcast session, you will gain insight into how a version of the school wide enrichment model can work within a program that supports gifted students, including all levels of learners who benefit from enrichment. The Schoolwide Enrichment model was designed by Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis. 

Today’s guest, Dr. Melissa Survinski shares her experience with a hybrid version of the schoolwide enrichment model. Dr. Survinski explains how the service delivery components are implemented through her district’s use of personnel and resources to support student strengths, curriculum modification, and enrichment learning techniques. She shares how this benefits her students (and teachers) greatly.
