in Washington in February.
These are the recommen
dations for educating the aca
demically talented the top
15 to 20 per cent of the high
school population:
1. A solid four-year high
school course of the academic
subjects English, science,
mathematics, modern foreign
languages, and social studies.
Students should be grouped
in classes with others of like
ability. That is, a top student
iri math would study math
with other superior students.
If he is only average in Eng
lish, he would study English
in a regular class.
2. A rigorous counseling
program, with guidance based
on aptitude andor intelli
gence test scores and school
records. "The eighth grade
marks a crucial point the
period of the student's life
in which critical choices are
made . . ." the NEA report
states.
3. Special provisions with
in the regular high school for
advanced work. Talented stu
dents should take extra
courses in summer school,
such as creative writing. An
advanced placement program
should be in effect in many
schools to allow talented stu
dents to enter college with
credit toward graduation al
ready established.
4. Advanced academic work
fpr talented students on a low
er grade level. For example,
ninth grade algebra should
be available to superior stu
dents in the eighth grade.
James B. Conant, president
emeritus of Harvard univer
sity, was chairman of the spe
cial NEA conference on tal
ented students. J. Ned Bryan,
on leave from Rutgers Uni
versity, is project director.,
Describing the talented stu
dent, the NEA report states,
"He is usually a rapid learn

skillful thinker ... he is"
probably creative, curious . .'.
