Oh - and just very random thoughts re: your subject "enrichment for all." My idea of enrichment is something interesting and creative and fun that all students can benefit from, whereas gifted education is providing appropriate challenges to students who need it. Many times providing just enrichment to gifted kids, which to most people looks like fun, will create resentment from the kids who are not getting it. So I applaud giving "enrichment" to all. However, most gifted kids need more than enrichment. What they need will be challenges at their level/speed, which will not look like fun to the kids who do not need it and thus are not getting it - it will look like hard work. Also, please make sure that the gifted kids who are given more challenging work don't have to do the other work assigned to the rest of the class - it should not be punishment for them to get appropriate challenges. Just very quick random thoughts...
