The guide presents curriculum objectives of Project DEEP (Developing Exceptional Educational Potential), a resource room approach to the education of gifted elementary pupils. The first part of the handbook provides information on the background and foundation of a gifted curriculum (including such topics as student identification and needed teaching skills, and a brief annotated bibliography). Specific curriculum objectives are then presented for the following topic areas (sample subtopics in parentheses): language arts (creative writing, poetry, researching skills, and vocabulary); mathematics (problem solving, logic, and computers); foreign language; and community resources. Appended are a resource list and a description of an art museum experience. (CL)
