More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Reported are the findings of a national survey on the present state of public education for the gifted. A foreword, statement of purpose, procedural information, and findings are given for each of the major survey areas–definitions of the gifted child, identification and instruments for gifted children, educational programs for the gifted, and teacher training programs for the education of the gifted, with particular emphasis on programs in New Jersey. The educational programs section, which makes up the bulk of the document, includes general information (such as location, address, and contact person) on gifted programs which were not evaluated and more detailed information (such as sample forms, identification methods, curriculum, and program characteristics) on programs which were studied and some visited. Listed among conclusion in the final section are that teacher recommendation is the most popular form of identification used and that there is almost a total absence of formal training programs for teachers of the gifted offered by New Jersey State Colleges.

Appended are a list of the programs surveyed, a list of program objectives; a preliminary program record survey form; sample letters; a program record and visit form; a list of contributors; and charts showing the objectives for each program, instruments for identifying the gifted, program content areas by grade, and characteristics of New Jersey programs.
