Presented in the annual (1973-74) evaluation of Project Talented and Gifted are results of an appraisal of over 50 student participants (10- to 12-years-old) and the project staff and resource personnel. The project is described as a 3-month institute to provide experiences in areas such as learning to use creative thinking and problem-solving strategies, in language arts, science and mathematics, and music. Procedures, results, and evaluation instruments are described in three sections: the experiment, student-parent perceptions, and other sources. Reported are findings which include that Ss showed significant improvement in verbal originality; that the program did not appear to have brought improvement in areas of figural fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration; that both parent and student perceptions indicated that students were weakest in initiative and/or leadership experiences; that staff assessment was generally positive; and that recommendations made by resource personnel were both pertinent and valuable. Recommendations are noted for the project's second year which include special attention and emphasis to development of creative thinking abilities in fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration.
