Abstract

This study of language arts curriculum effectiveness presents data that lend support to the utilization of the Integrated Curriculum Model (ICM) with high-ability learners in various grouping contexts. Significant growth gains were demonstrated in literary analysis, persuasive writing, and linguistic competency for seven experimental classes using a unit of study modelled on ICM. Implications for heterogeneous classroom use include concerns for lack of differentiation of reading selections for students not classified as advanced readers and the degree of abstraction contained in specific performance tasks.
