Talents Unlimited in use at several area schools By Trad Menks Express Assistant Editor Editors note: This is the second in a series of articles about the Gifted & Talented Program. This article deals with one method to recognize talented . and gifted students. Talents Unlimited (TU) which is currently in progress in several schools in the Uintah School District, is an innovative educational program under an Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Title III grant with headquarters in Mobile, Ala. The theoretical and research background for TU grew out of the work of Dr. Calvin W. Taylor, of the University of Utah who has explored the development of creativity and research of the creative process for over 20 years. TU identifies talent in six major areas: productive thinking, forecasting, decision making, planning, plann-ing, communication and academics. The district is currently gearing their TU program to the kindergarten through third grade. The TU group in Mobile Ala. developed a national guide for parents, teachers and significant others to identify iden-tify talents in the children they are in contact with. They provided a way to identify five of the talents as academics is demonstrated in abilities to perform in school. A productive thinker uses at least four different thinking skills: they think of many ideas, different ideas, unusual ideas and then add detail to the ideas to make them clear to others. Ideals need to be fluent and show flexibility. An example of productive thinking would be if your child decides to paint a picture, and after gathering the materials discovers they don't have a paint brush, a productive thinker will invent other ways to paint the picture. Items that can be used to paint a picture pic-ture could include a piece of sponge, a rag, an old toothbrush, a cotton swab, or numerous other household items. Forecasting is the ability to look into in-to the future and guess what might happen. The guesses must be based on real life happenings and should not just be wild guesses by the child. The communication talent involves the ability to effectively communicate needs, feelings, and ideas to other peo ple. Communication involves six different dif-ferent but related skills. These six skills include: giving many varied single words to describe something, giving many varied single words to describe feelings, thinking of many varied things that are like another thing in a special way, letting others know that they understand how others feel, making a network of ideas using many varied complete thoughts, telling feelings and needs without using us-ing words. The planning talent can either be simple or complex, but should have four basic elements. These elements are telling someone else what they are planning, explaining to others what materials and equipment will be used in the plan, telling others what steps "7 4, j n it' li 4 JMIH M ill "There's no room for mistakes when it comes to my taxes. That's why I go to H&.R Block. They really stand behind their work. And they're around all year if I need them. So when it comes to taking care of my taxes, I take them to H&.R Block." People who know H&R BLOCK Vernal 390 W. Main 789-3335 Mon. Sat. 9-5 are needed to complete the project and explain what potential problems could arise while completing the project. An example of the planning talent would be to ask the child to plan a first aid kit. Have the child describe what the kit will look like, and all the things that will need to be included in the kit. Have the child then explain the steps they took in preparing the kit ( ie why they chose specific items) and the problems in compling the materials. Children must also exhibit responsibility respon-sibility in putting items away, after they have completed a project. Because decision making is an integral in-tegral part of our everyday lives, they should be able to demonstrate the ability to make a decision. The decision deci-sion making talent involves four basic skills. These skills include: the ability to think of many varied things they can do, careful consideration of each alternative alter-native and the consequences of each, choosing an alternative they feel is best, and giving reasons for thier choice. The traditional academic talent is incorporated in TU to help students gain knowledge in a variety of displines while the other five talents are used for assisting the student in processing or using knowledge to create new solutions. Taylor believes that 90 percent of school age children are talented in at least one of the major talent areas. Many times these talents are either disregarded or are not recognized in the educational system. The Alabama TU group has developed a process by which each of these talents can be recognized and taught in a classroom by teachers. At the present time there is a total of 10 tests used to recognize the talents excluding ex-cluding the academic. The tests are varied and all require the student to make a conscientious effort to complete com-plete them. Last year several instructors from the Uintah School District traveled to the Granite School District to observe how the gifted and talented program was being used in their school system. Teachers from the Uintah School District were instructed on how the TU program, and a supplemental pull-out program, was working in the Granite School system. This year the pull-out program is limited to the third and fourth grades but will be expanded next year to include in-clude the fifth graders. The program involves creating a special class to develop the student's individual talents. The classes will be taught by the instructors that receive the training train-ing at the Granite School District. However it is up to the discretion of the individual teacher whether they will use the TU method to recognize the gifted and talented or another method. Schools are currently in the process of selecting the students that will participate par-ticipate in the program. Selection is based on several different elements and is not limited to academic achievements.

Representatives meet to discuss wilderness areas Representatives from industry, ranching ran-ching and tribal members met Tuesday Tues-day to discuss what issues should be included in a draft Environmental Impact Im-pact Statement (EIS) concerning wilderness areas in Utah being prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The statement will address the issue of whether 73 areas across the state should be included as wilderness areas. The two extremes in alternatives alter-natives for the statement would include in-clude having" all the land considered wilderness, or having none of it considered.

Currently the zoning law allows residents to park a single-wide wherever they choose. Commission members are meeting with David residents because results of a recent survey indicated that they opposed any zoning regulations. They want to make sure that the survey reflects the feelings of the residents.

Several members of the ranching community, which included both sheep and cattlemen, cat-tlemen, raised concerns over grazing rights. Under the wilderness proposal, ranchers ran-chers would be able to continue grazing graz-ing their livestock on the wilderness land, but would not be able to check their lands or livestock in a vehicle. Because the lands would be roadless and vehicles prohibited, the ranchers would have to check their animals on horseback. Two other meetings were scheduled Feb. 22 and 23 in Logan and Tooele. The next meeting will be Feb. 28 in Price, Utah. BLM officials will gather the information for the draft EIS on a statewide basis rather than on the individual areas. March 22, county commissioners will hold a public hearing to get views from valley residents on whether single-wide trailers should be regulated. The planning commission has submitted a proposal to the commissioners com-missioners that was developed after studying other trailer ordinances, public meetings and a valley wide survey, which included questions on the issue. The proposal, if adopted, would limit single-wide trailers to mobile home parks or mobile home subdivisions. The proposed ordinance would not pertain per-tain to any existing trailers. The meeting will be held in the 7th District Courtroom, located at the county courthouse beginning at 7 p.m. Man Bring this ad in Monday, February 27, 1984 and receive a gold neck chain FREE.
