Education for the Gifted in Rural Locations in Virginia. Final Report.
Bishara, Michael N.
This report describes the second and final phase of joint collaborative efforts undertaken by Southwest Virginia Community College and the Russell County School System to overcome the lack of a "critical mass" of students required to operate cost-effective programs for the gifted. First, background information on the program is provided, indicating that during the second year, two groups of students followed two distinct tracks, each one covering two modules for 15 weeks. The tracks identified were (1) Technological Sciences, and (2) Appalachian studies. Following conclusions about the effort, the four learning modules are presented: (1) "Drafting and Microcomputers," by Devi Mitra; (2) "Computers: Applications for Tomorrow," by Vaughn K. Lester; (3) "Appalachia's Political Economy," by Billy J. Rhea; and (4) "Appalachian Renaissance," by Loretta C. Cox. Each module contains information on suggested time frame, prerequisites, a course overview, course goals, outline of topics, readings and assignments, and course requirements. Appendices provide samples of the creative work produced by the students, along with a report by an external evaluator. (EJV)
