The Development of Academic Talent: A Mandate for Educational Best Practice.
VanTassel-Baska, Joyce
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n10 p760-63 Jun 1998
University talent-search projects provide a viable model for schools' talent-development efforts. There are three critical elements: a flexible age-grade placement philosophy, a commitment to use tests to improve curriculum and instruction, and a strong support structure for teachers and administrators. Students must also develop appropriate habits of mind. (28 references) (MLH)
