The paper describes curriculum extension projects in science in a senior high school. Individual extension projects are developed from the base of the school curriculum but extend into broader, more unusual areas according to the individual's particular interest. However, concentrating on extension into breadth also necessitates working in depth, and all work progresses on the basis of hypothesis testing and the development of the necessary skills needed to tackle the task. Pupils discuss their intended goals, draw up a plan of action and contract to complete the task. The overall aim of the teacher is to be a guide and to encourage the pupil to develop an autonomous and individual learning programme and style of working.

What is the status of ambitious national recommendations designed to develop the talent of our brightest students? Have states, districts, and individual schools taken action? Are we much further along as a nation in raising the expectation level for gifted and talented students? As a former middle and high school principal, I have pictures of specific students in mind when I contemplate these answers. There has been progress, but not nearly enough has been accomplished.

The recent trend to acknowledge and to meet the needs of gifted and talented students has created a new challenge for academic planners, as well as teachers. One manifestation of this challenge is to provide appropriate supplementary materials to meet the needs of these special students. In seeking stimulating supplementary materials, teachers often overlook the obvious, a varied periodical list, while concentrating on amassing a wide range of audio-visual materials. Each type of supplementary material has advantages in certain settings; however, in programs for academically gifted, carefully selected periodicals can be a vital addition. The following list of supplementary periodicals is designed as a guide for teachers of academically gifted English students in high school. The list is neither definitive, nor is it essential that any school include all of the periodicals in their collections. It does provide a variety of materials to nurture the intellectual growth and personal and social awareness of gifted English students.

Overexcitabilities is a special trait in gifted and talented students but is rarely known to the general public. This overexcitabilities is one of the socioemotional issues faced by gifted and talented students. The concept of overexcitedness has come to be known in the field gifted and talented and has a great impact on the self-development and future of the students. A survey was conducted using the Overexcitability Survey (II) instrument to measure the overexcitabilities of these gifted and talented students. Previous researchers agree that the Overexcitability Survey (II) is also suitable to be used in identifying gifted and talented individuals. The Overexcitability Survey (II) has five sub constructs: emotional dimension, imagination, intellectual, psychomotor and sensory. The findings of the study among high school students (n = 40) in gifted and talented schools in Negeri Sembilan showed that gifted and talented students had the highest score for intellectual constructs (mean = 3.54) and followed by sensory (mean = 3.51), imagination (mean = 3.45), emotion (mean = 3.40) and psychomotor (mean = 3.40). This study also goes through the Positive Disintegration Theory by Dabrowski that gifted and talented students are able to excel and strive to overcome their weaknesses in order to succeed if they are able to adapt to the uniqueness of the over excitabilities. The knowledge of this over excitabilities is necessary to help the excellence of gifted and talented students. ABSTRAK Keterujaan luar biasa merupakan satu keistimewaan yang ada pada pelajar pintar dan berbakat namun jarang diketahui oleh masyarakat umum. Keterujaan luar biasa ini merupakan salah satu isu sosioemosi yang dihadapi oleh pelajar pintar berbakat. Konsep keterujaan luar biasa ini mula dikenali di dalam bidang pintar dan berbakat dan memberikan impak yang besar dalam perkembangan diri serta masa depan pelajar. Kajian tinjauan telah dilakukan menggunakan instrumen Soal Selidik Keterujan Luar Biasa (II) bagi mengukur keterujaan luar biasa pelajar pintar dan berbakat ini. Pengkaji-pengkaji yang lepas bersetuju bahawa Soal Selidik Keterujan Luar Biasa (II) ini juga sesuai untuk digunakan bagi mengenal pasti individu pintar dan berbakat. Soal Selidik Keterujan Luar Biasa (II) mempunyai lima sub konstruk iaitu dimensi emosi, imaginasi, intelektual, psikomotor dan sensori. Hasil dapatan kajian dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah (n=40) di sekolah pintar dan berbakat di Negeri Sembilan ini menunjukkan pelajar pintar dan berbakat mendapat skor tertinggi yang signifikan bagi sub konstruk intelektual iaitu (min=3.54) dan diikuti sensori (min=3.51), imaginasi (min=3.45), emosi (min=3.40) dan psikomotor (min=3.40). Kajian ini juga melalui Teori Disintegrasi Positif oleh Dabrowski menunjukkan pelajar pintar dan berbakat mampu melonjak cemerlang dan berusaha mengatasi kelemahan diri untuk berjaya jika mereka mampu menyesuaikan diri dengan keunikan keterujaan luar biasa yang dianugerahkan. Pengetahuan tentang keterujaan luar biasa ini perlu bagi membantu kecemerlangan pelajar pintar dan berbakat.

Despite federal and state mandates regarding the use of the Response to Intervention (RTI) service delivery model and its widespread adoption in school districts across the nation, many issues still surround the model and its implementation, particularly at the secondary level. This chapter focuses on some of the more prevalent issues, including the importance of determining whether the RTI model as a whole is effective within middle and high school educational environments, how much time students should spend within each tier, how the roles of certain school personnel have changed with the implementation of the RTI model, the importance of providing transition services for all struggling students within RTI, how involved parents should be in the RTI process, how assessments are conducted within the model, and how gifted and talented students fit into the model.

A descriptive survey was implemented across the state of Illinois in 1975 and 1976 regarding career education provisions for gifted and talented students in the state. Professional educators in field settings of career education or educators of gifted and talented students were included in the population. Information was sought through questionnaires and interviews regarding the current status of career education programs for gifted students in Illinois and regarding the opinions of these educators about what should be done for these students. Differentiated career education programs for gifted students in the Illinois public schools were few in number and generally not fully developed. There was little purposeful or systematic effort to integrate programs and practices in career education and gifted education for the students in Illinois.
