Charting a new course in gifted education

Anne L. Corn / Lynnette M. Henderson | Paperback | 2020

Highlighting the work of 17 distinguished national authors, this special issue suggests a new course for the field of gifted education — one that emphasizes the individual and suggests that the focus of gifted education be dynamic and contextual. From legal perspectives to changing concepts of giftedness, talent, and assessement; from using new technologies to identify differences in brain structures to using new research paradigms to reveal the nature of giftedness; from compelling reasons for early intervention to tailoring opportunities for college-ready gifed persons, this two-part issues of PJE exposes new dimensions along which paths between previously held beliefs and practices and new courses for thought and action can be forged. A parental perspective is also included.
