Seed, a three-year research program conducted jointly by Baylor University and Texas A&M

who accepted same on behalf of CES Principal Terrell Miller.
Also on hand for the presentation were (from left) CES Counselor Jerry Stephens; Virginia
Christian, the project's mentor teacher, and Director of Curriculum and Instruction Mike

The recommendations of the regional
Education Service Center were also
■solicited'.
According to McIntosh, another
important consideration was a strong
mentor teacher at the school.
“Clifton is very fortunate in that it
has one of the strongest mentor
teacher we found already on site,"
commented McIntosh.
Clifton's mentor teacher for the
project is Virginia Christian, the
gifted/talented instructor at CES.
Christian was the first to read of
Project Mustard Seed, and passed the
information on to administrative
members of the staff, who sought
application to the program.
Christian told The Clifton Record
she was “very pleased" to learn CISD
had been selected to participate in
the project. She explained she is
interested in learning more about a
class management system where
students of various abilities can be
taught in the same classroom,
without the academically advanced
becoming dissatisfied.
According to McIntosh, the mentor
teacher, principal, and members of
the site-based decision making
committee will attend three days of
Project Mustard Seed orientation at
Baylor University this April.
This summer, six teachers will
attend an intensive two-week
training session at the university.
In the second year, those six
teachers will become mentors to six
more teachers. An additional six
teachers will be added the third year.
“At the conclusion of the project,
CISD will have 19 instructors who
will be highly able to train and
mentor new teachers in adapting
instruction," McIntosh explained.
“Almost more important, though,
are the long term benefits of the
project, including an extensive
support system,” he added.
Mclntoshi and research associate
Dr. Susan Johnsen will furnish
support to teachers involved in the
project.
Additionally, each site in the study
will be given a compute^ for
curriculum sharing and networking.
According to the Administrator's
Project Overview, “Project Mustard
Seed classrooms will be an innovative
mix of successful, research-based
methods for adapting instruction for
students of varying abilities.
“For example, a project classroom
might include learning centers,
flexible groupings of students for
specialized instruction, independent
and small group study, and
individualized student planning.
“Teachers would be free to use
individual, small group, and whole
group instruction when appropriate.
‘The corner of such classrooms is
flexibility. Project teachers will have
a wide array of strategies available to
them for meeting each student’s
needs.”
The overview goes on to say that “a
key strength of the project is its
ability to meet the needs of all
children.
“However, the thrust of the
project’s research is to examine the

potential benefits of adaptive
instruction on gifted children in the
regular classroom.
“The model adapts for these
students’ rapid rate of learning and
ability to deal with complex, abstract
ideas just as it does for the special
learning needs of other students in
the classroom."
McIntosh saidCISD’s participation
will gain the district “national
recognition," as schools throughout
the country are interested in the
progress and results of the three-year
research project. \

Record the district was “very
thrilled" to be selected to participate

students,” she commented.
