Extractions: Neag School of Education UConn Mentor Connection is a summer program for rising high school juniors and seniors located at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. We believe students' interests, abilities, and motivation are very important talents. We also believe that it is essential for students to have opportunities to manifest their talents in high levels of creative productivity. Our work is based on the following additional beliefs: Above average ability, creativity, and task commitment can be developed and nurtured. Creative productivity results from the interaction of above average ability, creativity, and task commitment. All social contexts, including school, the home, and the community can influence the incidence of creative productivity. The university setting provides an especially promising context for creative productivity because first-hand inquiry is the core of almost all daily work. Creative and productive individuals exist in every ethnic and cultural group and across all socioeconomic levels.

TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AUSTIN, TEXAS 78701 In 1990, when the last state plan for the education of gifted students was adopted by the Texas State Board of Education, the mandate to identify and serve these students had just been implemented. That plan was designed to provide program guidance and to assure that all students had the opportunity to be fairly and accurately assessed for advanced level services. This new Texas state plan, adopted by the State Board of Education in November 1996, builds on that effort and takes districts and campuses to the next level of program implementation: refining existing services and creating additional curricular options that lead to exceptionally high levels of student performance.
