<strong>Talent</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong><strong>2012</strong> marks a milestone <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Talent</strong> <strong>Development</strong> (CTD). We celebrate 30 years ofinnovation, breakthroughs and results in the field of gifted education.CTD was founded by a team of visionary educators and leaders in1982. One year later the <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong> was introduced. We’ve comea long way since then.Today, our <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong> is recognized nationally and internationallyas a premiere summer learning opportunity and unique,life-changing experience <strong>for</strong> academically talented students. Askour students and they are likely to report on the fun, friendships and“ah-ha” moments they have enjoyed.The <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong> is better than ever. Building upon ourpast we are offering one, two and three-week sessions <strong>for</strong> children in grades 4 through 12 on theNorthwestern University campus in Evanston, Illinois. Responding to demand, we are expanding tooffer programs <strong>for</strong> grades 4 through 6 at Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois. We continue tooffer a myriad of weeklong courses at sites in and around Chicago <strong>for</strong> younger children, PreK throughgrade 3.I’m particularly proud of our Creative Studies series designed to encourage innovation. Childrenlearn to push the realm of possibility and discover there is more than one solution to a given problem.This year Creative Studies is expanding to our youngest <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong> participants, PreKthrough grade 3. We are introducing the concept into our math curriculum with a new Math Studiooption. Children can explore math fundamentals in the morning and then experiment with art applicationsin the afternoon. You’ll find a full description in this catalog.Creative Studies is also part of the Apogee program this summer. Introduction to GraphicDesign blends art and technology in engaging and relevant visual communication projects.So, if your child has already experienced the CTD <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Program</strong>, be sure to apply again <strong>for</strong> abanner season that features new offerings <strong>for</strong> all grade levels in all subject matters. If you have beenwaiting, our anniversary year is the opportune time to experience the excellence of CTD.Paula Olszewski-Kubilius, PhDDirector, <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Talent</strong> <strong>Development</strong> at Northwestern University847/491-3782 www.ctd.northwestern.edu NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR TALENT DEVELOPMENT 1
