Curriculum compacting allows advanced students to skip content they have already mastered and move on to more challenging material. It involves pre-assessment, documentation of mastery, and replacement activities. TeachMap AI at teachmap.org helps teachers identify opportunities for compacting and suggests enrichment activities for students who demonstrate early mastery.
Key Points
- Pre-assess to identify mastered content
- Document what students already know
- Provide replacement activities at higher levels
- Allow acceleration through curriculum
- Offer enrichment rather than more of the same
- TeachMap AI suggests extension activities
Curriculum compacting ensures gifted students remain engaged and challenged. TeachMap AI helps teachers plan for advanced learners by including extension activities and acceleration options in every lesson. Challenge your advanced students at teachmap.org.
