This book and video are based on a symposium on ways to foster giftedness in children in kindergarten through third grade. Emphasized throughout are DISCOVER projects, federally funded research and development projects to assist Arizona educators in identifying and planning programs for gifted children from diverse cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. Chapter 1 profiles model DISCOVER classrooms, young gifted learners, and their teachers. A list of materials for a multiple intelligences learning center is provided. Chapter 2 explains the multiple intelligences model of giftedness and the DISCOVER program. Chapter 3 explains 20 developmentally appropriate practices, including: age-appropriate practices; individually appropriate curriculum; acceptance of diversity; humane, supportive, flexible, and responsive environments; a whole child perspective; active, interactive learning; learner-centered, teacher-facilitated curriculum; integrated curriculum; challenging learning activities and experiences; extensive planning; intrinsic motivation; supportive guidance and discipline; authentic assessment; community-based programs; parent involvement; and collaboration. The S. W. Schiever and C. J. Maker Continuum of Problem Types is presented and applied to the study of cycles in seasons and weather. Appendices provide: a list of symposium participants, a transcipt of the symposium video, and abstracts of DISCOVER projects. The video shows symposium participants addressing issues of talent identification, teacher preparation, and curriculum.
