THE PURPOSE IS TO ASSIST ADMINISTRATORS IN UNDERSTANDING, ORGANIZING, AND OPERATING A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM FOR BRIGHT AND GIFTED STUDENTS. ASPECTS INCLUDE IDENTIFICATION OF STUDENTS WHO NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION, COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE, SELECTION AND TRAINING OF TEACHERS FOR GIFTED PROGRAMS, GROUPING IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS, NONGRADED PRIMARY SCHOOL, ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS IN REGULAR CLASSES, SPECIAL CLASSES, ACCELERATION, AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING GIFTED PROGRAMS. SUMMARIES OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN AREAS OF ENRICHMENT, SPECIAL CLASSES, SEMINARS, SUMMER SCHOOL, CURRICULUM PLANNING, AND ABILITY GROUPING SERVE AS GUIDES FOR ADMINISTRATORS SEEKING TO EXTABLISH SIMILAR PROGRAMS. IT IS HOPED THAT ADMINISTRATORS, REALIZING THAT IDENTICAL EDUCATION IS NOT EQUAL EDUCATION, WILL BE THE LEADERS IN PLANNING A GIFTED CHILD PROGRAM.
