The Minneapolis Public Schools High Potential Program for gifted elementary children in grades four through six began December 2, 1974. Twenty-one schools and approximately 353 students participated. Programs in math, science, social studies-modern language, and creative writing were offered. The purpose of the program was to offer a challenging, enrichment experience for high ability students. Students were challenged to learn subject matter in much greater depth and breadth than their regular classroom experience and also were exposed to new ideas and concepts. A specialist in each of the subject areas provided the instruction. The High Potential Program was very successful according to the views of high potential students, parents of students, and teachers of students. (Author/BW)
