Point-Counterpoint: The Positive Side of Pull-Out Programs and The Ineffectiveness of the Pull-Out Program Model in Gifted Education: A Minority Perspective.

Renzulli, Joseph S.; VanTassel-Baska, Joyce

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v10 n4 p245-69 Sum 1987

Joe Renzulli asserts that pull-out programs for gifted elementary school children that reflect horizontal enrichment and vertical acceleration can provide flexibility and enable radical departures from the regular curriculum. Joyce VanTassel-Baska counters that current pull-out programs are inadequately planned, provide insufficient time, are inherently divisive, and focus on transitory experiences. (VW)
