Abstract: VanTassel-Baska’s (1995) Integrated Curriculum Model (ICM) was designed specifically for use with gifted and talented students. It has been designed around known characteristics of effective curriculum for gifted students and tested for its effectiveness with such learners. Recent curriculum theories in gifted education argue that all learners should be provided with curriculum experiences that allow learners to attain optimum levels of learning, and that curriculum designed for gifted students should be used with as many learners who can benefit from it. This paper draws upon the findings of a study where the ICM was implemented into an inclusive Year 3 classroom. Students’ interview data are discussed highlighting the effectiveness of the ICM in increasing student engagement in comparison to previous learning experiences, and in particular the gifted students.
