Presented is a guide for developing a program for gifted and talented students (in grades k-8) which was originally implemented with 60 students in the Kyrene School District (Tempe, Arizona). Part I covers such program aspects as philosophy, goals, ways of dealing with opposition from teachers, parents, the community, the Board of Education, and students; instruments for identification; teacher role; and parent involvement. Described in Part II are the models and theories related to education of the gifted, definition and principals of creativity, and the Human Individual Potentials (HIP) Curriculum structure. The bulk of the document consists of curriculum unit materials for the following areas: social effectiveness (affective domain), humanities, intellectual effectiveness (cognitive domain), creativity, physical effectiveness (psychomotor domain), and recreational integrative activities. Information on unit activities usually includes entry concepts, teacher tasks, materials needed, student enabling behaviors and learnings, lesson development, and evaluation. Appended are the full report of pilot study results and a professional bibliography on giftedness. (SBH)
