A Proposed Model and Framework for Developing a Curriculum for the Gifted in the Philippines

The K to 12 Education provided an opportunity for the advancement of gifted education in the Philippines,
especially in public schools. This paper identifies different existing programs for gifted education in the
country and discusses the issues and challenges experienced by teachers and administrators in implementing
the curriculum for the gifted in public schools. It presents a proposed curriculum development model that
builds on a curriculum process followed by the Department of Education and based on accepted principles
and theories of curriculum development. This paper also presents a proposed curriculum framework to guide
teachers in designing curricula for gifted education. The proposed curriculum development model and
curriculum framework could serve as a guide in the development of a curriculum for gifted students in all
public schools across the country.
