Programs for the Gifted Few or Talent Development for the Many?
Feldhausen, John F.
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n10 p735-38 Jun 1998
Traditionally, gifted programs have focused only on students deemed academically gifted, excluding those with vocational/technical, artistic, or personal/social talents. Article suggests it is immoral to identify 5% of the student population as "gifted" and the rest as "ungifted." Since all students have relative talent strengths, schools should help them identify and understand their own special abilities. (23 references) (MLH)
