Realization of Unique Aptitude - Renzulli Learning

Renzulli Learning is a Web-based learning coach that allows teachers to use differentiated curriculum by creating individualized assessments of each child’s interests and preferred methods of engagement learning. It also delivers customized learning experiences to help them think and learn based on their personal strengths. It provides strength-based achievement; assists teachers; and raises student test scores. Renzulli Learning promotes engagement by fostering the love of learning among students. It is comprised of four key components providing a teacher’s assistant that determines how each student likes to learn.

 

 • Renzulli Profiler: The profiler allows teachers to receive a comprehensive learning assessment of each student’s motivational makeup in about 45 minutes. The Profiler focuses on goal setting and strength-based life skills development to identify a student’s top three interests, learning styles and expression styles. 

 

 • Renzulli Differentiation Search Engine: The differentiation search engine matches safe, classroom appropriate online and offline resources to each student’s interest areas and learning styles. Content and concept retention increases dramatically due to the personalized relevance of a topic.

 

 • Lesson Planning and Differentiation: This allows teachers and students to work collaboratively on curricular topics, assignments, and projects. Available are a Lesson Library, Unit Supplements, Literature Connections, and a list of assignments by grade levels, subjects, and topics. These lesson-planning tools differentiates more than 25,000 Enrichment Activities — automatically —creating  a highly engaging learning environment that empowers students to achieve more. Includes Advanced Placement, Physical Education, Art, Music, Drama, Life Skills, Character Development, Spanish, French, and Latin resources ranging from K through 12th Grade.

 

 • Total Talent Portfolio: The talent portfolio stores student products and records in an individualized learning environment that tracks student’s progress. It is accessible anytime, anywhere and can transport student information from grade-to-grade, or school-to-school. They can also complete a self-assessment of what they derived from the resource and can store favorite activities and resources. The portfolio can be reviewed at any time by teachers and parents. It is an ongoing record that can help students, teachers, guidance counselors, and parents make decisions about future educational and vocational plans.

 

The Enrichment Triad Model was designed to encourage advanced student learning and creative productivity in three key areas by: exposing students to various topics, areas of interest, and fields of study in which they have an interest; providing students with the skills and resources necessary to acquire advanced level content and thinking skills; and creating opportunities for students to apply their skills to self-selected areas of interest and problems they want to pursue. The Enrichment Triad Model was developed in 1977 by Dr. Joseph Renzulli and Dr. Sally Reis. It was implemented in thousands of schools in the U.S. and other parts of the globe through a wide range of programs developed by classroom teachers and educational specialists in many different school districts serving diverse populations of students at all grade levels. The Renzulli Learning system utilizes the model to make thousands of resources and enrichment materials for teachers and students with the click of a mouse—resources tailored to students’ abilities, interests, and learning styles.

 

Differentiated instruction is a teaching style that applies learning to the individual interests and personal preference of each student—allowing them to learn in the best way for them as an individual. Renzulli provides a virtual teaching assistant designed to assist teachers in helping their students become more engaged and enthusiastic about education leading to increased study time, fewer behavioral problems, self-directed learning, and higher test scores. It raises test scores by creating student achievement based on strengths, engagement, and differentiated curriculum.

 

The differentiation search engine examines thousands of resources that relate to each student's profile. It matches student strengths and interests to an enrichment database of over 15,000 activities, materials, resources, and opportunities for further study. It promotes high levels of engagement where students can think, feel, and do. Resources are grouped into 14 categories:

 

          • Virtual Field Trips

 

 

                       • Fiction Books

 

      • Real Field Trips

 

                             • Non-Fiction Books

 

          • Creativity Training

 

                     • How-To Books

 

      • Critical Thinking

 

                          • Summer Programs

 

                  • Projects and Independent Study

 

                            • On-Line Classes                                        and Activities

 

                  • Contests and Competitions

 

                         • Research Skills

• Web sites

 

                         • Videos and DVDs

 

These resources help students find and focus a problem or creative exploration of personal interest they want to pursue. They are encouraged to apply the knowledge they gain. Learning maps are provided for each of the fourteen enrichment resource databases to be used in curricular activities. The differentiation search engine provides a safe and secure Internet experience allowing students access to only approved resources.

 

The Wizard Project Maker allows teachers and students to develop problem-based projects for regular curricular topics. It helps students understand ‘the why’ of using the Internet by helping them make the best use of web resources and helps focus their interests as they pursue advanced level work. It helps students define a project and set a goal for achievement.

 

The Renzulli Personal Success Planner (PSP) was designed to help young people, especially middle school-aged students, to think critically about their interests, heroes and career aspirations – and then create tangible goals and plans for achieving those dreams. Designed specifically to help middle and high school students develop critical thinking skills, the Renzulli Personal Success Planner shows students how to create tangible academic and career goals and develop plans for achieving those goals.


The PSP has two main objectives:

 

  • Provide a research-based, goal-oriented assessment and treatment tool that establishes student ownership of the value of his / her education.
  • Support students in their identification and pursuit of social, academic, and ultimately economic short & long-term goals

One custom-tailored Renzulli program for the student including a calendar to schedule activities, a journal, a lesson library, inbox, groups, project wizard, and more. A library of lessons, unit supplements, an extensive list of assignments, and literature connections are available that generate resources based on the student's personalized learning profile.

 

One Parent Web Site giving parents the freedom to chart their child’s progress and view his or her profile. Articles are selected just for parents, as are helpful links to web sites that help parents and are updated on a regular basis.
