The Facilitator’s Handbook for Effective Enrichment provides a clear, practical roadmap for implementing enriching educational activities across the curriculum.
Enrichment-focused and practitioner-friendly, this book provides an implementation structure to help educators use the evidence-based practices of Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Model, the foundation for Renzulli and Reis’s Schoolwide Enrichment Model, to raise students’ knowledge, skills, motivation, and self-efficacy. Covering the what, why, and how with step-by-step guidance, hands-on strategies, and immediately implementable activity plans, this book provides everything needed to ensure that enrichment is meaningful and empowering for both facilitators and students.
Featuring mini-curricular units aligned to educational standards and a Just for You section designed to support reader growth and confidence as a facilitator, this book is a must-read for anyone working to promote children’s development, regardless of background or experience.
