We examined gifted education plans from a sample of seven districts in and around the Charlotte, North Carolina, region to learn how these districts address gifted or advanced learners in kindergarten, first, and second grades in their policies. We summarize the content and range of these policies, and recommend that effective approaches should include universal screening, early identification (i.e., in kindergarten), and the use of additional pathways to identification and differentiated educational services to meet the needs of young advanced learners. We conclude with recommendations for future study in this underinvestigated area.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"31 1","pages":"411 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X20908878","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41390800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An assessment with demonstrated reliability and validity as an instrument to identify exceptionally talented students was included with new instruments created in the X project. A continuum of problems, including closed, semi-open, and open-ended, was an important component of the assessment, enabling the assessment of creativity as well as understanding of mathematics concepts. The math assessment was field tested in five high schools in high poverty areas that also had high percentages of American Indian or Hispanic students. It was implemented as part of a battery of instruments to identify students to participate in a special internship program. The test–retest reliability and construct, concurrent, and predictive validity need to be investigated in future studies.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"31 1","pages":"211 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X20906130","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47335530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study integrates analysis of 30 interviews and 500 surveys of Canadian innovators from a variety of disciplines as a means of understanding the avenues that education could use to develop innovation talent. The results of this study point to the overstated role of rewards as drivers of developing innovation talent. These findings support the idea that programs that wish to support innovation for all learners should be guided by the primacy of decisions that build confidence and fulfill interest and perceived importance of the task at hand, as well as those mitigating the costs of innovating. The implementation of promotive and cost-mitigating strategies should be a high priority for educational efforts to stoke the development of innovation talent for learners in many contexts.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"31 1","pages":"129 - 153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X20904772","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46314768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the combined field of rural gifted education has even more complexities. An examination of context and content in rural gifted education holds potential to elucidate facets of this specialized convergent field for advances in practice and research. This literature review systematically explores complexities in the individual fields of rural education and gifted education as they relate to the unique aspects of rural gifted education. This review provides an understanding of rurality as a context for gifted education; examines rural-specific questions about curricula content, particularly place-based curricula in gifted education; and identifies successes, challenges, and gaps in rural gifted education. The review can serve as the foundation for research exploring potential influences of place and achievement on what it means to be both rural and gifted.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"31 1","pages":"61 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X19879174","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47878488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it is growing in popularity worldwide, some schools have discontinued the program. Literature on the reasons why schools discontinue the MYP is limited. Using a qualitative case study design, we examined the perspectives of school leaders, former MYP coordinators, and experienced MYP teachers at three private and public Australian schools to find out why they discontinued the MYP. Our findings add to the limited literature base on the topic—they reveal schools discontinued the program due to challenges from various systems-level constraints, leadership issues, school organizational structures, and individual teacher challenges.

These findings are excerpted from a larger qualitative study that investigated how Black adults, who were identified as gifted in New York City Public Schools, reflected on their experiences as gifted students and how they leveraged those experiences to persist to and through college. Using Schlossberg’s model for adapting to transitions as the theoretical frame, findings suggest that participants received limited guidance as they transitioned to college but learned many lessons that led to become productive in college.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"31 1","pages":"111 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X20901506","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43348695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mendaglio addresses potential misunderstanding of the theory as well as the concept of overexcitabilities. He clarifies that Dąbrowski’s theory is not a theory of giftedness; however, the theory as well as Dąbrowski’s concept of intelligence contributed to Mendaglio’s understanding of the psychology of giftedness.
