This paper discusses the issues of: Who should develop curriculum materials? What form should enrichment materials take? Which theoretical frameworks are appropriate? How should the content be selected?
Gifted children's use of the CEPPS package in the Expressive Arts (interdisciplinary learning) is documented through outcomes related to the objectives of the learning materials. Future predictions indicate there is a need for independent learning packages to be developed for gifted children. (All illustrations are by pupils of 7–11 years of age).
