Lending editorial guidance and her own contributions, Smutny directs the individual expertise of each contributor, with chapters that include guidelines for: Designing and implementing curriculum for pre-K through middle school Identifying and selecting the best teachers Creating the vital support networks among parents, school, and community Assessing the program??'s impact on children, parents, and teachers Developing special programming for the disadvantaged gifted students

The book offers several examples of different learning experiences that fall under the definition of a "gifted program," as well as a chapter that outlines all of the essentials for starting a gifted program, including sample forms and letters.
