ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the program that was originally marketed by UConn R and D under the title “the Renzulli Learning System.” The system was subsequently sold by UConn to Compass Learning Corporation and is marketed under the name of GoQuest. Every teacher has had the satisfaction of seeing a child “turn on” to a topic or school experience that demonstrates the true joy and excitement of both learning and teaching. The Renzulli Learning System might best be viewed as the next generation of applying instructional technology to the learning process. A special feature of Renzulli Learning is a project organization and management plan for students and teachers called The Wizard Project Maker. The Renzulli Learning System is designed to be an aid to busy teachers who seek the tools for effective differentiation as they go about the process of dealing with a broad range of individual differences, diverse student needs, and increased pressures to improve student achievement.
