Education - Gifted Index Index of articles, with descriptions and ratings, about gifted and talented students http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/pages/ed.gifted.html
Extractions: When a child is gifted or talented, their parents and educators are faced with many issues and challenges. These articles and digests provide ideas, guidance and activities for both parents and educators of gifted students. While some of these articles are written specifically for educators, they can also benefit parents who are seeking to create or influence a program for their children. In addition, we've found that many of these articles, such as those on college planning and underachieving students, are appropriate and helpful for other students, not just those that are gifted.

Your son won't do what he must do. He drives me crazy, yes it's true! He will stall and squirm and hum, and leave all of his work undone. He dreams and will not pay attention, have you considered medication? With other kids he does not play, he is alone much of the day. Something does not seem quite right, because I know he must be bright. He seems to learn, despite the rest, but the work is not his best. He is disruptive, yes it's true. He just won't do what he must do! Yes, teacher, I can really see, how frustrating all this must be, A child who does not meet the norm, a child whose mold won't fit the form. I've had him tested on WISC-III, by your approved test agency. He scores far higher than the mean, there's more to this that can be seen. So help us, help us find the way, to teach this child best if we may. He is not like the rest you see, he acts and thinks far differently.
Identification In Visual Arts Important issues and practices relative to identification of gifted and talented students in the visual arts are introduced in this paper. http://www.ucc.uconn.edu/~wwwgt./clarzim1.html
Extractions: Enid Zimmerman Important issues and practices relative to identification of gifted and talented students in the visual arts are introduced in this paper. As many of the issues and practices discussed are complex and often misunderstood or misapplied, they are examined critically in terms of their research implications and applications. Problems of definition, identification, and recommended practices are addressed based on past and current research about education of artistically gifted and talented students. Issues are discussed relative to the apparent lack of agreement upon definition of talent in the arts and the role of culture, student characteristics, creativity, skills, cognitive abilities, affective abilities, interest and motivation, potential and processes contrasted with performance and products, art specializations, and distribution of arts talents in the general school population. Each issue is examined in light of complexities that have confounded definitions of talent in the arts and practices used in identification programs. Issues relative to identification of gifted and talented students in the arts are then examined in relation to the use of outcomes derived from standardized art, intelligence, achievement and creativity tests, factors of students' backgrounds, personalities, values, ages, and use of multiple criteria identification systems. Various aspects of these issues are discussed in regard to their uses and misuses in current gifted and talented visual arts programs in relation to identification procedures.
Satori Summer Camp For Gifted Teens A summer experience for academically talented and gifted junior and senior high school students. Takes place at Eastern Washington University. http://www.satoricamp.org/main.html
Extractions: Literally, the word Satori is Japanese for "Ah Ha!" It originally represented a state of enlightenment sought in Zen Buddhism. It's an exploration of the mind and the unknown.

For students aged 12 - 18, the word Satori is also the name of a one-week journey towards their own personal enlightenment through specialized instruction and social activities. For its twenty-first straight summer Satori Camp is proud to present this opportunity for academically and intellectually talented students to experience their first taste of college with others who share their enthusiasm for learning in an academic and social environment. Satori camp allows students to choose three mini-courses from a variety of offerings . Participants are introduced to a wide range of academic and special interest courses designed to develop a well-rounded individual. Each course is held for approximately two hours a day over the five days of camp.
