    Abstract
    The education of gifted and talented students is an area that has long been neglected in public education systems. Due to extreme demands on the educational system, special programs often do not receive the attention they need and deserve. This has been especially true in the area of gifted and talented programming and continues to be a serious problem in many schools today. School districts need to improve gifted and talented programs in order to provide highly capable students with an appropriate education. This study investigated the best possible programming options for educating gifted and talented students in small rural school districts. Professional recommendations for nominating, screening, and admitting students into a gifted and talented program are discussed in this study. Various programming options, including enrichment, differentiation, acceleration, curriculum compacting, alternative curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and personal development, are explored. Standards regarding the administration of services are presented. Finally, guidelines for evaluating a gifted and talented program are detailed. This study was conducted through a comprehensive review and critical analysis of research and literature focused on gifted and talented programming throughout the United States. A discussion of the challenges in gifted and talented education in small rural school districts, conclusions on programming options, and recommendations for the improvement of the Gifted and Talented Program of the School District of Glenwood City are included.
