Personal Agendas are personalized lists of tasks
that a student must complete in a specified time,
usually two to three weeks. A Compacted
Curriculum encourages teachers to assess students
before beginning a unit of study or development
of a skill. Students who do well on the
pre-assessment do not continue work on what they
already know. Flexible Grouping allows students
to be appropriately challenged and avoids
labeling a student's readiness as static. 
Strategies for Differentiating   Interest-Based
Investigations provide opportunities for students
to explore topics of personal interest while
supporting their research skills.

A Learning Contract is a written agreement
between a teacher and a student that will result
