This discussion has three parts. Be sure to respond fully to each. Be sure to include research, your text, and your biblical worldview.

  1. Do you think that the nation has responded to National Excellence: A Case for Developing America’s Talent? Why or why not?

  2. Let’s find out what is happening in your state. Conduct a little research and find out how your state compares to others in terms of legislation and policies for gifted education. Does your state have a mandate or requirement for educating the gifted?

  3. Looking back at one of the most famous studies in gifted education, why would teachers have only chosen well-adjusted students for Terman’s study? Does the same type of bias occur in the identification of gifted children today?
