Gifted student plan set
COMMERCE - An en-
vironment of “constant
stimulating challenge” will be
provided for more than 100
academically gifted high school
students this summer during
East Texas State University’s
' week-long High School
Academic Enrichment
Program.
With the help of a $10,900
grant from the Meadows
Foundation Inc., of Dallas, the
program will provide academic
enrichment experiences for
gifted and high-achieving 10th
and 11th grade students from
throughout Northeast Texas.
The program will also
provide teacher training in
gifted education and will in-
volve the development and
validation of curriculum
materials which can be used in
stimulating gifted students.
“We are excited about the
• support we are receiving from
the Meadows Foundation,”
said Dr. Joyce K. Miller,
assistant professor of secon-
dary and higher education and
coordinator of the program.
__ “We believe that the
program which you have begun
in the best effort in the state at
this time to stimulate special
educational programs for the
most intelligent students in
order to give society the chance
to benefit from the excellent
potential which these students
represent,” said Ms. Sally R.
Lancaster, Meadows Foun-
dation vice president, in an-
nouncing the grant award/
In addition to the week-long
summer program, two half-day
Saturday Seminars for
academically talented students
will be scheduled during the
1980-81 academic year, Miller
said. *
“Students who have an op-
portunity to participate in the
enrichment program will be
exposed to new ideas and
concepts which typically are
not incorporated within the
high school curriculum,”
Miller said.
The U.S. Office of Education
estimates that three to five
percent of all children are
gifted, but that group of up-
wards of a million children
often are neglected as a group
in need of special help.
"Because of his superior
intellectual capabilities, it has
long been assumed that the
gifted child can function
without special programs or
highly stimulating ex-
periences,” Miller noted.
Miller said that recent
evidence indicates that, in the
absence of challenging stimuli,
the gifted child is likely to
submerge unique talents until
challenge appears or will
create situations of challenge.
Research also indicates that
many of the students who drop
out of school each year are
among the gifted who simply
are not challenged by the
traditional curriculum.
The summer program will
include a blending of core
experiences in which all
students will participate as well
as specialized academic and
exploratory experiences in
which students may elect
certain areas of concentration.
Specialized programs will
deal with areas such as
“Imagination and Your
Future," “The Making of a
Film,” “Time Management,”
“The World of Computers and
You,” “A Cultural An-
thropologist at Work,” “The
Changing Roles of Womfen” and
“Man and His Wrold.”
It is anticipated that students
will explore each specialized
academic experience in some
depth.
“Students who participate in
the computer science ex-
perience should be capable of
writing a computer program by
the end of the week,” Miller
said.
A special first summer term
workshop, Secondary and
Higher Education 529-Teaching
the Creative and Gifted
Student, will provide teachers
with the information and tools
necessary to improve their
teaching approach with
academically talented
students.
During the several weeks
prior to the High School
Academic Enrichment
Program, workshop par-
; ticipants will be studying
methods and materials which
: are relevant to gifted students.
Teachers in the workshop
: will have an opportunity to
employ various skills and tools
for gifted students during the
academic enrichment
• program. ETSiT faculty
1 members representing a cross-
, section of disciplines will be
moderators for the various
| specialixed academic ex-
!• perience opportunities.
' The High School Academic
Enrichment Program will be
/held on the ETSU campus
during June 22-28, and students

college life as they will be mended for the program by

TEXAS AUTOMOBILE Dealers Association lob-
byist Gene Fondren may have been looking for a
campaign manager against Rep. Smith Gilley, D-
Greenville, but he apparently didn't find one. "It's
lust my dad -and I up here," reports.Chad Cable,
whose father, Lowell, is the Saturday runoff candi-
date against Gilley.
Gilley has published an advertisement quoting
The Dallas Morning News as saying the Austin busi-
ness lobby is out to get rid of him. But Cable says all
that alleged money hasn't shown up, either, and
Fondren'scar dealers have given just $500. 11 ‘
