Implementing A Problem-Based Professional Learning Experience Using the ExCEL Model
About This Book
Creating Equity and Access for Gifted Learners provides an overview of how and why to implement the ExCEL Problem-based Learning Instruction Model as a change initiative in classrooms, and the impact that this model has had on gifted programs.
The product of evidence from two federally-funded Jacob K. Javits grants, The ExCEL Model is a systemic, design-based, continuous improvement curriculum and professional learning program that closes equity gaps for culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse students by increasing effective problem-based learning (PBL) instruction. This book will provide readers with the background, evidence, and tools necessary to implement the program model as a change initiative in their schools. Learn how to implement effective, research-grounded professional learning, demonstrate best practices, and navigate red tape and roadblocks.
Full of immediately implementable strategies and lesson examples, this book is a must have resource for district leaders, instructional leaders, and teachers ready to make their dream of implementing an equitable and effective professional learning program a reality.
