Networks - Curriculum Studies

Mission

The Curriculum Studies Network believes that work in the area of curriculum forms the core basis for programs for gifted learners and thus must be carried out in a thoughtful, comprehensive, and articulated way. Furthermore, we believe that curriculum for the gifted should be organized to allow gifted learners to move at their own rates, to provide in-depth experiences, to offer exposure to new knowledge areas, and to make interdisciplinary connections. Specifically, the Network undertakes projects and activities that:

• develop standards for curriculum development processes including evaluation, scope, and sequence;                                                         
• develop a working relationship and mutual projects with other national curriculum groups;
• provide a clearinghouse of appropriate curriculum materials for gifted students; and
• promote research and development in curriculum for gifted students.
