Independent Study Program: Complete Kit, 2E

This innovative kit offers a timesaving, exciting program for engaging every gifted student in your classroom. Watch the excitement among your students grow as they work through the research process of selecting a topic, organizing a topic, asking questions, using a study method, collecting information, developing a product, presenting the information, and evaluating the independent study. This step-by-step program can be used by students working alone, in small groups, or by the entire class.

The Teacher's Guide contains 25 lesson plans, assessments, and student examples. The lessons assist the teacher in guiding students through the basic research steps, with additional ideas for primary students and special teaching tips for all levels. Additionally, the guide provides effective tips for managing independent studies in the classroom, with specific examples for arranging the classroom, organizing materials, scheduling, and record keeping.

The Student Booklet helps students plan and organize their own independent research projects related to each lesson in the Teacher's Guide.

The Resource Cards offer ideas for students and teachers, information and examples for each step of the research process, and opportunities for students to learn the process independently.
