Promoting Advanced Achievement In Massachusetts Schools V. Expansion of Public Alternatives gifted and talented students should have Mark Andersen, Ph.D. President, MA assoc. of gifted Education (781) 674-0261. http://www.massgifted.org/MassachusettsAdvancedAchievementPolicy2002.htm
Extractions: Promoting Advanced Achievement in Massachusetts Schools - Policy Paper ( Summary In a report requested by the legislature, the DOE states that unlike many other states, Massachusetts has no mandate for identifying academically advanced students or providing them special services (MA DOE, 2002). Massachusetts is one of only 8 states without regulated identification of gifted students, and one of only 11 states without regulated mandates for serving these students (Swanson, 2002). While the Commonwealth did allocate a small budget for programs and support in past years ($2.5 million), even those funds have now been eliminated. We recommend the Romney-Healy administration take the initiative to better serve academically advanced children and increase our states economic competitiveness. Meeting this goal entails enforcing existing laws, mandating identification and accommodation of students, and increasing the range of options available to families with academically advanced children. Background Academically advanced students are rarely asked to stretch their minds in school; instead they are most often expected to listen attentively while a teacher covers material the student knew years before.

Please note: Gifted Children Links Gifted Children Books Ask Dr. Dot If you have a question about a gifted child or education in general, Ask Dr. Dot The "Ask Dr. Dot" form has taken off phenomenally! Both Dr. Dot and I are thrilled to be able to help so many parents (me by just passing along the feedback questions to her). We are finding that these types of questions aren't very easy to answer by email, or even in an article (as Dr. Dot did with one question). It takes a much more personal communication to help a child, each of whom is his/her own little individual self! It will be helpful if you put your phone number in the feedback form so I can forward that to Dr. Dot along with your question (only Dr. Dot and I will see your phone number and we're both Dyslexic - so we won't be able to repeat it to anyone
