Curriculum Compacting: What It Is & How to Manage It
Available as a Workshop and/or Consulting by Caroline Cohen, Ph.D.
Increasingly, teachers are faced with classrooms of diverse learners, at all levels of readiness, achievement, and pace. Curriculum Compacting solves the problem of meeting the educational needs of students who already know the material, or will learn it unusually quickly. Through pre-assessment and Compacting, teachers can ensure student mastery of objectives and standards while providing appropriate levels of challenge for these able students. Explore a variety of pre-assessment techniques which will address teacher and student accountability and guide lesson planning. Learn ways to integrate Compacting into your existing curriculum and instruction, so the needs of all students are truly being met in the classroom.
