註釋The text reports on findings of the Richardson study, a 4-year examination of current programing for gifted and talented students. An introductory chapter comments upon current attention to gifted education and summarizes reflections on home and school influences of MacArthur Fellows. Chapter 2 reviews results of a national survey of school districts' programing which touched upon such aspects as programing options, identification, grade levels, and written philosophy. The third chapter identifies five promising practices and describes examples of each: (1) internationally oriented education; (2) internships and mentor programs; (3) school and college collaboration; (4) summer programs geared to excellence; and (5) specialized schools. The final chapter presents recommendations regarding discovering and nurturing talent, providing for flexible pacing, and ensuring comprehensive programs. An imaginary district with an ideal program is cited. The Pyramid Project, a model Texas program, is discussed as an example of the study's recommendations. (Cl).
