JOSEPH RENZULLI

The Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM)

(Renzulli, 1977; Renzulli & Reis, 1985, 1997)

is widely implemented as an enrichment program used with academically gifted and talented students and a magnet theme/enrichment approach for all schools interested in high-end learning and developing the strengths and talents of all students.

The major goal of the SEM is the application of gifted education pedagogy to total school improvement.

The SEM provides enriched learning experiences and higher learning standards for all children through three goals;

developing talents in all children,

providing a broad range of advanced-level enrichment experiences for all students,

and providing advanced follow-up opportunities
for young people based on their strengths and interests.

The SEM focuses on enrichment for all students
through high levels of engagement
and the use of enjoyable and challenging learning experiences

that are constructed around students' interests,
learning styles,
and preferred modes of expression.
