Abstract:No matter where gifted and talented students obtain their education, they need an appropriately differentiated curriculum designed to address their individual characteristics, needs, abilities, and interests. A program that builds on these characteristics may be viewed as qualitatively (rather than quantitatively) different from the basic curriculum. This curriculum would result from appropriate modification of content, process, environment, and product expectation and student response. Curriculum effectiveness can be judged by examining mastery of basic skills, problem-finding and problem-solving activities, and connections within and across systems of knowledge. Seven guiding principles for curriculum differentiation are offered, covering such areas as productive thinking skills, self-directed learning, and in-depth study. (11 references) (JDD)
