The National Association for Gifted ChildrenÕs Parallel Curriculum Model will be examined to give participants an opportunity to preview the model and to work with it in a guided setting. The goal of the class is to begin establishing familiarity with the model in order to build the capacity to apply facets of the model to curricular areas for classroom instruction.
The Parallel Curriculum model is a cumulative model of past curriculum models rolled into one. It is multi layered so that the curriculum can be more adequately altered to meet the needs of diverse learners. It is easy to see where standards fit and how they can be adapted. By looking at the model participants will see possibilities for constructing quality curriculum with multiple choices for implementation.
The four Parallels consist of the Core Curriculum, the Curriculum of Connections, the Curriculum of Practice and the Curriculum of Identity. Each parallel provides opportunities for educators and learners to explore areas in varying degrees of depth and complexity.
