Rules and regulations governing education of the gifted in North Carolina precede an outline of screening and identification procedures. The question of ability grouping is explored through a review of eight research studies and articles. Questions and answers are used to present information on the gifted to parents, and the selection of teachers, class size, and program evaluation are considered. Objectives taken from Bloom's "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives" are presented with an explanation. The development of programs in the following areas includes activities and ideas: language arts, English, social studies (elementary and secondary), science (elementary and secondary), arithmetic, mathematics, music, and art. Available mimeographed materials are listed. (RJ)
