We also discuss how Project HOPE affected Marcia’s scholarship and work related to equity issues in gifted education, as she became increasingly concerned and impatient with the inequities and slow pace of change in the field of gifted education. Finally, we reflect on the opportunities that Marcia provided her doctoral students and her role as our mentor, colleague, and friend. Marcia’s legacy of providing both opportunities and mentoring has left us to be indebted to her.KEYWORDS: enrichmentequityexcellenceprogramssummertalent development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNielsen PereiraNielsen Pereira, PhD, is an associate professor of Gifted, Creative, and Talented Studies at Purdue University and Director of Purdue’s Gifted Education Research & Resource Institute (GER2I).

The relationship among MD, overexcitability (OE), and emotion regulation was examined. Results indicated that MD was associated with imaginational OE and negatively with sensual OE. Difficulty with emotion regulation strategies in individuals with elevated MD included impulse control difficulties, decreased acceptance of negative emotions, and more difficulty mobilizing goal-directed behavior. Dancers had higher OEs compared to the active control group and similar to athletes for psychomotor OE. The three active groups were similar in emotion regulation. The investigation of MD is a relatively new field of study.

It results in scientists, potential scientists, and consumers of science drawing conclusions that do not follow from data but rather that follow from prior scientific, ideological beliefs. Gifted people are at least as susceptible to these biases as are other people. We propose in this article a set of techniques for combating such bias. In particular, we suggest that gifted (and other) individuals seeking to draw scientific conclusions put themselves in the place of various individuals involved in scientific refereeing—in particular, of reviewers with varying prior predispositions (e.g., reviewers with different paradigmatic worldviews and reviewers who are picayune critics) and journal editors. Through these techniques, gifted individuals may spare themselves embarrassments that they might otherwise encounter, not despite, but even because of their own superior intellects.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"178 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46882246","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}

In the savings-bank metaphor, people have differential levels of IQ or general intelligence, which is viewed as determining whether they are gifted. Their cognitive ability is their metaphorical “money in the bank.” In the investment-bank metaphor, people are seen as having differential investments in varied kinds of abilities and talents. Their pattern of abilities is their metaphorical portfolio of investments. A better implicit metaphor might be the foundation, however, whose effectiveness is judged by the worthiness of the transformational causes to which it contributes and the effectiveness of the use of the foundation’s assets toward these causes. A person is gifted by virtue not merely of the assets they have but of how they transformationally deploy those assets.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"188 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45483369","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 article offers recommendations and presents the model to complement and enhance transformational GATE students and education (e.g., identification and assessment, social-emotional and psychological development, instruction/teaching, and curriculum) via a rigorous culturally responsive framework.

We present evidence that using a talent development paradigm supported by differentiation with an organicist rather than a mechanistic perspective was effective in identifying and cultivating potential innovators in STEM while also increasing the diversity of students identified. Exceptional talent was defined as having three components integrating the constructs of intelligence and creativity: (a) solving complex problems, (b) solving varied types of problems, and (c) having a complex and integrated knowledge structure in the domains assessed. Practices consistent with the talent development and differentiation paradigms include using measures of problem solving in different domains to create profiles and providing programs to engage all students in solving real-world problems.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"161 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41605837","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}
