The manual describes the Maximize Talent program, a low budget offering for elementary gifted students. The program is said to rely on community tutors to provide creativity and problem solving experiences. Sections focus on the background (issues and problems in gifted education); program development (including sample budgets and job descriptions); identification (sample instruments and approaches); tutors (including information on setting up seminars); and teacher workshops. The manual includes sample forms which can be duplicated for identification, seminars, evaluation, or teacher workshop purposes. (CL)
