One in a series of reports on a gifted program jointly formed by three school systems in Alberta, Canada, this document presents information about the gifted and talented program in the Calgary school system, the largest of the three districts. The program in Calgary consists of education assistance services, which help schools develop programs for their gifted students, and also a self-contained school solely for gifted students. The first section of the report describes these two components in detail, including information on historical development, student identification, curriculum content, delivery systems, and student evaluation. Evaluation data, gathered from interviews with area consultants, program specialists, school principals, itinerant teachers, school staff members, students, and parents, are presented in the next section. Conclusions and recommendations presented in the subsequent sections address the need for development of a statement of expectations regarding achievement in gifted programs; development of guidelines and procedures for effectively identifying the gifted and talented; development of guidelines for identifying and training teachers of the gifted; increasing the availability of inservice programs for teachers of the gifted; providing additional counseling services for gifted children; and improving communication with parents of gifted children.
