Bringing Out Head Start Talents (BOHST). Talent Programming.
Amundsen, Jane; And Others
Designed for preschoolers identified as talented by the Bringing Out Head Start Talents (BOHST) project, the small-group lessons contained in this manual focus on nine areas of talent programming and are presented in color-coded sections: creative, intellectual, leadership, art, music, reading, math, science, and psychomotor talent development. Four skills are targeted for development in each of the nine areas (e.g., for intellectual talent: problem solving, remembering, communicating, and seeing relationships). Lesson plans in each content area contain an introduction, three initial activities (with a list of materials, targeted skill areas, and step-by-step instructions), and seven continuing activities. Assessment questions based on objectives for each of the four skill areas are included, and answers are recorded on a Talent Assessment Record used in planning the continuing activities and in designing a Talent Education Plan (TEP) for each identified child. Sample TEPs and a sample end-of-the-year talent report (sent on to the child's next teacher) are included. (JW)
