Knowledge Sharing is a Two Way Street

Through the thousands of hours we have spent listening and learning from workshop participants and classroom teachers we have accumulated tools and expertise to share. We hope you find some of this to be helpful, and that you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas with us.

The Curry/Samara Model® of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment is an integrated, standards based approach to teaching and learning that is used in regular, gifted and inclusion classrooms to assist teachers in meeting the needs of learners at all levels.

CSM addresses differentiation from three dimensions (content, process & product), and stresses implementation of instructional strategies in six categories (content, thinking, product, assessment, facilitation, reflection). The Model Classrooms Project focuses on the CSM categories of instructional strategies to provide information, tools and support for implementation of best practices.
