Description
Gifted students are among the most underserved population in American schools and are some of the most underperforming in the world. In order to improve services for the gifted, possible gaps in training and service delivery must first be identified. The presenters conducted a national survey of school psychologists to evaluate the amount of time they allocate for gifted assessment and consultation with teachers and administrators; information was collected about graduate school and in-service training on gifted topics, familiarity with prominent figures in the gifted field, and gifted assessment methods.
