Popis: As one of the early pioneers in gifted education, A. Harry Passow was a strong advocate for curricula that considered the total learning environment as a means of nurturing students' individual gifts and talents. His classic description of four curricula (general, specialized, covert, and nonschool educative) that impact gifted learners is relevant in schools where gifted students may spend the majority of their day in a general education classroom. This article illustrates how Harry Passow's views on curriculum and talent development are similar to those of Howard Gardner and how the author has used both theorists' views to develop a student-centered curriculum planning model. The model has been field-tested in general education classrooms and shows promise for creating a stimulating learning environment to nurture students' talents.
