Abstract
An integrated‐thematic curriculum is especially appropriate for gifted learners because of their exceptional abilities to see and understand relationships. Shaping course work around integrated themes inspires students to find personal meaning in their study by allowing them to generate their own observations, inquiries, and investigations, paralleling the processes performed by specialists in the field. Gifted learners have different learning needs than more typical learners and a curriculum appropriate for them provides: advanced content that allows for flexible pacing, learning processes designed to promote creativity, higher‐level thinking and problem solving; and learning environments that are open and supportive of diverse learning styles and needs. This article describes and explains an integrated‐thematic curriculum designed to meet the unique needs of gifted and talented learners. It provides examples of how this curriculum appears in the classroom and a model for developing similar curriculum in other settings.
