The report describes Project UNIQUE (Underachievers Needing Individualized and Qualitative Unique Education) for gifted underachieving students in grades 3-6, stressing three major instructional components: (1) an affective curriculum; (2) a differentiated curriculum; and (3) a study skills curriculum.

The instructional materials include diagnostic packets and sets of lessons addressing affective development, study skills, and individual learning styles. Each of the program components is presented in outline format including objective, rationale, explanation, and outcome or evaluation. Also included is an evaluative study of the project which found that the program had a positive impact on participants. A variety of evaluation forms for use by teachers, parents, and students are included as well as 21 lesson plans. Includes 49 references. (DB)
