Visit http://www.cfge.wm.edu/professional_psi.htm to access the
brochure.  We feel that the information provided at this
institute will be of interest to educators across many fields,
not just gifted education. Thank you for sharing this information
with your colleagues who may be interested but who are not on
this list. If you need copies of the brochure please let me know.


Also, check out "What Works: 20 Years of Curriculum Development
and Research" on the main page of the web site. This document
highlights what works based on the curriculum development and
research work of the Center for Gifted Education during the past
20 years. Research findings include the areas of curriculum
development, instruction, assessment, and professional
development. Through the use of the Integrated Curriculum Model
as a template for design, coupled with curriculum reform emphases
in content areas, the Center curriculum has produced positive
outcomes in student achievement and teacher use of differentiated
strategies. This document is available for download.  

Thank you,
