Welcome to the Home Page of the
CURRICULUM STUDIES DIVISION
a Division of the National Association for Gifted Children

---

The Curriculum Studies Division is one of fourteen divisions in NAGC dedicated to specific areas of interest to our members. Division membership is open to members of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) for an additional $10 fee per year. Memberships in divisions run concurrent with NAGC membership. (membership application).

The Curriculum Studies Division believes that work in the area of curriculum forms the core basis for programs for gifted learners and thus must be carried out in a thoughtful, comprehensive, and articulated way. We believe that curriculum for the gifted should be organized to allow gifted learners to move at their own rates, to provide in-depth experiences, to offer exposure to new knowledge areas, and to make interdisciplinary connections. Specifically, the Division undertakes projects and activities that: (1) develop standards for curriculum development processes including evaluation, scope, and sequence; (2) develop a working relationship and mutual projects with other national curriculum groups; (3) provide a clearinghouse of appropriate curriculum materials for gifted students; and (4) promote research and development in curriculum for gifted students.

In addition to regular newsletters containing curriculum resources like the web resources complied here, the Curriculum Studies Division selects sessions for the NAGC Annual Convention and recognizes outstanding authors of curriculum for gifted students through its annual Curriculum Awards Competition. Information regarding the competition is available on this site Curriculum Studies Division Awards Competition Guidelines or by calling the NAGC National Office at (202) 785-4268, or by E-mailing the NAGC National Office at nagc@nagc.org.
