The Impact of Staff Development on Teachers' Ability to Modify Curriculum for Gifted and Talented Students.

Reis, Sally M.; Westberg, Karen L.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v38 n3 p127-35 Sum 1994

Three levels of staff development were provided to 300 elementary teachers to train them in curriculum compacting for high ability students. Teachers eliminated about half of the content for targeted students. Teachers receiving the most intensive training created higher quality compactor forms for students and used more replacement strategies and more diverse options for targeted students. (JDD)
