Gifted And Talented Policy
Extractions: Beacon Press, Boston, 1995, $12.00 GOVERNMENT control of education in the UK is greater now than at any time since the founding of a state system of education in 1870. Government, in the shape of the Department of Education and Employment, controls the supply side through grants made directly to grant- maintained (GM) schools and indirectly via local authorities to the rest; it regulates supply by closing schools where demand is falling and controls the quality of supply by means of a national curriculum, national tests and Ofsted, its militant inspectorial arm. Demand is held constant by enforcing compulsory school attendance to the age of sixteen. It is a monolithic system and it is in crisis. How can we loosen the stranglehold of the state and open up our bureaucratic and inward-looking system to experiment and innovation? James Tooley has some answers in his thought-provoking book Education Without The State. Dr. Tooley is currently Director of the Education and Training Unit at the Institute of Economic Affairs. The I.E.A. is the direct descendant of the Mont Pelerin society founded by Hayek in 1947 to combat socialism and Hayek was the founding father of the economic liberalism of the New Right, the driving force behind Thatcherism. With such a pedigree behind him, it is difficult not to label Tooley's book one of the last gasps of Thatcherism. For what he has to offer is the market solution to our educational problems.

Working with SENG Read about past recipients of: SENG's 2003 Research Grants Fund Investigations Into Overexcitabilities In Young Children And Teacher Perceptions Of Gifted Adolescents SENG also awarded a one-year grant to facilitate Ms. Meredith J. Greene's study The Social and Emotional Development of Gifted Adolescents: Teacher Perceptions and Classroom Practices. This is also a three-phase project, addressing the following questions. What do secondary teachers believe are the social and emotional problems that negatively affect students of average ability versus students identified as gifted in school? What instructional practices do secondary teachers employ in their classrooms to address students' social and emotional development, and how frequently do they employ them? And what concerns do secondary teachers have about dealing with students' social and emotional problems? The study will combine the use of a widely distributed questionnaire, researcher observations in secondary classrooms, and in-depth interviews with teachers, to provide much needed data about teacher perceptions and practices with respect to their gifted students.

Extractions: Three of the four authors of Planning for Talented Youth at Passow's retirement party (l to r: A. Harry Passow, Miriam Goldberg, Abraham J. Tannenbaum). Concern for the education of gifted children is not new. Almost from its beginning, the American public school has tried to provide adequately for youngsters with outstanding ability. Although in some eras this need was overshadowed by what seemed to be more pressing educational problems, nevertheless it remained a basic concern of American schools. The present demand for more widespread discovery and development of talented individuals emphasizes the fact that our great national effort to provide educational opportunities for all youth has created serious deficiencies in provisions for students with outstanding abilities. These deficiencies have contributed to a loss in manpower and leadership which our nation can ill afford.

Extractions: What to Look for In A Public School It's very likely that sometime during your parenting years you will have the opportunity to choose the school your children attend. You may build a new home or be relocated due to a job change. If so, be a critical evaluator: more than just property value could ride on your decision. A good school can alter your child's life forever and save you thousands of dollars. For example, research shows that kids who are involved in after-school activities make better grades in school; therefore, you want to find out if the school has a thriving program of extra-curricular activities. Also, many scholarships are based on college entrance exam scores. A school that takes price in its college prep program can earn your child scholarship dollars. For kids not going on to college, good schools can teach computer skills that are needed in today's competitive job market. Try to visit a school twice. The first time you visit, make an appointment to see the guidance counselor. Counselors want to give you quality time, and they may find that hard to do if you just walk in. Try to go back for a second visit either during the school day or after school. If you visit during the school day, be sure to stop in at the office and let them know you're there. A part of most schools' security programs these days it to keep careful track of who's in the building and for what purpose. That's another thing you might want to look for in a quality school. You will want to assess five critical areas of life in the school: the facilities and technology, the pride and friendliness that you observe in the staff and students, the diversity of the student body, the curriculum and the
