Elementary Cluster Services

 

 

---

Inspired by the research and findings of Dr. Joseph S. Renzulli, MTSD Elementary Cluster Services are designed to create time within the classroom where qualifying students are offered knowledge and investigative learning strategies, as opposed to text consumption and proficiency testing. Student engagement extends beyond lesson-learning and includes inquiry, reasoning, and applications. Instruction extends beyond knowledge-dissemination and includes resource production, mentoring, and student guidance. Our goal for cluster students is to develop and apply a wide range of cognitive, affective, and motivational processes.

MTSD Cluster Services draws inspiration from the Renzulli Center for Creativity, Gifted Education, and Talent Development, at the University of Connecticut.
