Finding Your Voice: Talent Development Centers and the Academic Talent Search
Rushneck, Amy S.
Parenting for High Potential, v1 n6 p8-11 Apr 2012
Talent Development Centers are just one of many tools every family, teacher, and gifted advocate should have in their tool box. To understand the importance of Talent Development Centers, it is essential to also understand the Academic Talent Search Program. Talent Search participants who obtain scores comparable to college-bound high school seniors generally continue a pattern of high achievement in high school and college, take more advanced and accelerated courses, earn more awards and honors, and have higher educational aspirations. In this article, the author presents three questions that are most frequently encountered from those new to Talent Search, and the answers. Talent Search is more than just taking a test and finding educational resources; it is really a sense of family--of shared stories, shared lives and experiences, and shared conversation about possibilities, and for many students, of finally being given a voice--finally being seen.
