TD Catalyst Model
TD Catalyst Teacher
WHAT DOES THE CATALYST MODEL LOOK LIKE AT PINEVILLE?
The classroom teachers and Mrs. Caldwell share the responsibility for the education of our gifted and high ability students.
Mrs. Caldwell collaborates with classroom teachers to: Teach and co-teach literacy and
math lessons in 3rd through 5th grades.
Differentiate regular lesson plans to meet the needs of all learners.
Create Project Based Learning opportunities
Challenge our gifted and high ability students.
MRS CALDWELL’S RESPONSIBILITIES Gifted identification for all second graders and
high achieving fourth and fifth graders Managing and maintaining compliance
documents for all TD certified students Planning and collaborating with teachers Creating projects and tasks for gifted learners Teaching small groups and co-teaching whole
group lessons to differentiate activities Holding annual meetings with families of TD
certified students Communicating with families through
quarterly newsletters, end of year performance reviews, and on an as needed basis
DIRECT AND INDIRECT SERVICES
The CMS TD department expects approximately 60–70% Indirect Services 30-40% Direct Services
Direct services “Face time” with Mrs. Caldwell Lessons that are planned and taught by Mrs.
Caldwell Indirect Services
Lessons and activities prepared by Mrs. Caldwell in collaboration with the classroom teacher. The lessons or activities are used by the classroom teacher in the regular classroom.
Gifted Identification
WHY DO WE HAVE DIRECT AND INDIRECT SERVICES?
Often there are too many students for one person to reach alone.
Differentiation is required in the regular classroom to provide all students with the education they need and deserve.
The TD catalyst teacher unfortunately cannot see all children, all day, everyday.
WHAT COULD DIRECT SERVICES LOOK LIKE?
Demonstration lessonsSmall group instructionPull out for a specified amount of time
Activities related to classroom instruction
WHAT COULD INDIRECT SERVICES LOOK LIKE?
Centers or small group activities Novel studies
Projects Alternative assignments Independent contracts
Team Teaching Choice menus
Multiple Intelligence activities Bloom’s Taxonomy or Marzano’s Levels of Thinking
It’s important to remember that gifted students need more challenging or higher level work, not just more work. Think quality not quantity.
