  • Most conceptions of giftedness have been based on intellectual and academic potential or aptitudes for high-level performance in a valued human endeavor. Individual characteristics have been used as markers for acknowledging advanced development at each stage of development. Moreover, these conceptions have driven our responses to advanced development in schools, in the work world, and in the larger society. As a society in general, we have chosen to ignore positive individual differences in favor of focusing on individual pathologies. Yet, some pockets of our society have always acknowledged the need for talent development through selective admission to mentorships and tutorials, advanced education, and work settings including the military, sports, and political spheres. This chapter discusses the research on conceptions of giftedness and the curriculum interventions that address a domain-specific approach at different stages of development. It explores: (1) the argument and evidence for a domain-specific conception of giftedness, (2) the identification models that prevail in practice, featuring the Stanley talent search model as the most systematic, and (3) an approach to intervention that features the Integrated Curriculum Model, a differentiated model of curriculum found effective with K-12 populations. The role of educators to foster talent development rather than let it lie dormant also receives comments. Finally, implications are drawn for an integrated tapestry of learning that may serve as a model for advanced interventions at all stages of development.
