Education/Gifted Education
Envision is a dynamic program that individually differentiates and challenges gifted students beyond the standard curriculum in any educational setting. It is based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives and it incorporates numerous opportunities for freedom of choice within specific measurable objectives that lead to personalized end results. The program contains a series of four multidisciplinary real-world projects, one for each quarter of the school year, and is designed to inspire students to set goals for their future.
Envision: Grade 3 includes…• A step-by-step Teacher Instruction Guide including visual examples• A Student Instruction Guide for each Envision project based on detailed
objectives and high-level thinking• Ready-to-use forms, charts, parent/student letters, invitations, signs, and certificates• Teacher assessments, student self-assessments, and project checkpoints• Several opportunities for parent involvement• A CD of over 70 color, customizable forms• 5 color posters and 1 color bulletin board banner• Over 55 color student resource cards
“Envision is an excellent supplemental curriculum for students who are accelerated or highly motivated. The projects tap multiple intelligences, allow creativity, and incorporate “real-life” learning and presentation opportunities. I love Envision and highly recommend it to your district as well.”– Timothy Allard, Principal, Otsego Public Schools: Dix Street Elementary, Michigan
“I love that Envision differentiates for every student in every way all school year long. My teachers are thrilled with its helpful gradual steps and examples, ready-to-use forms, and flexibility. We are very excited for Envision: Grade 3 and beyond!” – Karen Hazelrigg, Principal, Prairie Central CUSD #8: Meadowbrook Elementary, Illinois
“My students are immersed in high-level learning, but are having so much fun they don’t even realize it! The planning is completed for me so I can simply facilitate my students and watch their growth.”– Barb Bollon, REACG Gifted Program Teacher, Claymont City Schools, Ohio
“I am very pleased with the detailed way that Envision is laid out. It is extremely teacher- and student-friendly; each student can have a copy of the instruction guide and resource cards. This means less teacher energy used to repeat directions and more student independence! The teacher assessments and student self-assessments are also great tools that challenge students to go beyond the surface of their study and help them to stay focused and engaged.”– Evalyn Leonard, Gifted and Talented Program Teacher, Alief Independent School District, Texas
