Description
This presentation uses Gagne's updated Differentiated Model of Giftedness and talent (DMGT 2.0) to propose a formal definition of talent development (TD), and its specific adaptation to general education, labeled academic talent development (ATD). Six crucial characteristics of TD and ATD are identified, with examples given in arts and sports. A review of current gifted education services shows that most programs do not exhibit many of these crucial characteristics. Consequently, the vast majority of U.S. school districts are not implementing "real" academic talent development. The presentation outlines how appropriate ATD would look.
