The Council for Exceptional Children has an extensive list of online programs providing courses for the gifted homeschooler or afterschool enrichment for the gifted child attending traditional school. The list includes Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY) and ALEKS for math.
The Malone Family Foundation, which helped fund and develop EPGY Online High School, offers perspectives on different approaches to gifted education, from homeschool to public school to private school.
The Homeschool Science Academy founded by Greg Landry offers several science courses from a Creationist point of view. The program also offers science summer camps in Boone, North Carolina.
And I can't let another day go by without a link to Hoagie's. Hoagie's is one of the first places I read online about gifted children over a year ago when I began to suspect that Calder was just a bit more than a "little advanced." I'm sure you all have spent time at Hoagie's already.
Does anyone have experience with any of these online programs?
And, on a different subject, don't forget that Monet's water lilies at the High Museum in Atlanta leave soon. The last day of the exhibit is August 23.

I'd like to suggest the National Research Center for Gifted and Talented Education at gifted.uconn.edu. I've purchased their M3 Math program and will let you know how it works with Matt. You link to Kendall Hunt Publishing to purchase. At K-H, I also purchased language arts units developed at the College of William & Mary for gifted learners. Back at NRC/GT, you can click on Renzulli System for an online enrichment program you can subscribe to. Creative Learning Press carries some of the problem solving and creativity resources developed by NRC/GT staff.
ReplyDeleteMaryland has implemented a 2e program in parallel with its TAG program. You can find a great guide book posted at the Montgomery County, Maryland, website, that details the psychology and needs of these children.
