This paper presents a rationale for serving gifted students in the regular classroom and offers guidelines for recognizing students who are gifted in the seven types of intelligence proposed by Howard Gardner. Stressed is the importance of creating in the classroom a community of learners that allows all children to actively explore ideas and experiences together. The teacher's role in such a community is seen to be that of a facilitator. Specific characteristics are listed of students gifted in: (1) linguistic intelligence, (2) logical/mathematical intelligence, (3) spatial intelligence, (4) intrapersonal intelligence, (5) musical intelligence, (6) bodily/kinesthetic intelligence, and (7) interpersonal intelligence.
