Talented Students and Resilient At-Risk Students: Similarities and Differences
Worrell, Frank C.
Feature Article
This study compared academically talented students (n = 23) who were not at risk for school failure and
resilient at-risk students (n = 27) on risk factors and protective/promotive factors. Participants’ risk status was
determined by student assignment. The academically talented students were attending a summer program at
a major research university and the at-risk students were graduates of a continuation high school for students
who had had numerous infractions at regular high schools. As expected, the two groups differed on risk
factors and on factors related to academic status. However, the groups did not differ on psychosocial variables
related to positive functioning, suggesting that some of the factors that act as protective factors in at-risk
youth may serve as promotive factors in gifted and talented youth.

Using Life-Story Research in Gifted Education
Flint, Lori J.
Feature Article
In this article I discuss a promising approach to the problem of gifted underachievement, the research tradition of life story, and I examine the nature of constructed narratives and explain the narrative methods used to conduct this study. I include portions of one constructed narrative to illustrate the narrative product of life story research.

The Gap, the Trap, and the High Flyers Flaps: A Summary and Analysis of Three Important Studies Focusing on Excellence Gaps in American Education
McIntosh, Jason S.
Gifted Education
Feature Article
<p>America’s educational system has undergone major changes in the last decade. A focus on “proficiency,” high stakes testing, and standards-based curriculum has become the name of the game. As a result, more students are meeting minimum competency every year. Researchers from three different organizations recently examined the effects of these curricular changes on the performance of America’s highest achieving students. This article synthesizes and summarizes the Center for Evaluation and Educational Policy’s 2010 report entitled Mind the Other Gap: The Growing Excellence Gap in K-12 Education, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s 2006 report entitled Achievement Trap: How America is Failing Millions of High-Achieving Students from Lower-Income Families, and the Fordham Institute’s 2011 report entitled Do High Flyers Maintain Their Altitude? Performance Trends of Top Students. A description of the methods, findings, and recommendations of each report is included, together with a discussion regarding what it all means to parents, teachers, and educators.</p>

Teacher Perspectives Regarding Gifted Diverse Students

Other Teacher Education and Professional Development
Feature Article
<p>Abstract</p>
<p>Understanding teacher perceptions of diverse, gifted students is a first step to exploring the underrepresentation of non-white students in programs for advanced academic ability. As professionals, teachers are responsible for making referrals for special programming and are often the “gatekeepers” for student identification. This qualitative study used exploratory interviews to examine perceptions of five second- and third-grade teachers and the talented and gifted coordinator at a school in which 65% of the student population was Hispanic. Three themes emerged in the findings: (a) Teachers experience differences in training to work with diverse, low income students and gifted students; (b) teachers use personal beliefs to compensate for lack of training in identifying and accommodating gifted learners; and (c) teachers perceive barriers for diverse students participating in gifted programming.</p>
<p><em>Keywords</em>: gifted education, identification, Hispanic students, teacher training</p>

Editorial
<p>This inaugural peer-reviewed issue of <em>Gifted Children</em> contains two research articles. The first is work by Dr. Victoria Molfese, Dr. Todd Brown, Dr. Jill Adelson, Jennifer Beswick, Jamie White, Dr. Jill Jacobi-Vessels, Lana Thomas, Melissa Ferguson, and Britney Culver. Dr. Molfese is a Chancellor’s Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and her research is focused on young children’s cognitive development and the impact of classroom processes and child characteristics as predictors of this development. Her co-authors are at the University of Louisville. In this article, Dr. Molfese and her colleagues examine classroom process quality as a predictor of mathematics skill growth across preschool for high poverty children who show higher ability.</p>
<p>The second article is by Dr. Christian Mueller and Dr. R. Trent Haines. Dr. Mueller<em> </em>is Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Memphis. He has published several empirical articles utilizing nationally archived datasets, one of which may be found in the second issue of volume 4 of <em>Gifted Children</em> (http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/giftedchildren/vol4/iss2/3/). Dr. Haines is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Morgan State University. In this article, Drs. Mueller and Haines describe a study using the Add Health database to examine associations between perceptions of family and school connections and self-concept and depression with a sample of highly able African American and Hispanic adolescents. </p>

Adolescent Perceptions of Family Connectedness and School Belonging: Links with Self-Concept and Depressive Symptoms among Gifted African American and Hispanic Youth
Mueller, Christian
Haines, R. Trent
Gifted Education
Feature Article
<p>Gifted minority students, particularly those who are African-American or Hispanic, often face significant barriers to their optimal psychosocial functioning and academic achievement. Lack of access to appropriate educational resources, reduced teacher expectations, under-identification and underrepresentation in gifted and talented programs, and outright discrimination all contribute to increased risk and reduced psychosocial and academic functioning among these youth. It is clear from the present results that sources of attachment are important for healthy functioning in gifted African American and Hispanic youth. Given the lack of presence of these students in gifted and talented programs nationwide, and the difficulty in retaining these students once enrolled, researchers and practitioners face increasing need to continue to strengthen the “family-school-community” link in order to enhance resiliency and reduce risk in gifted African American and Hispanic youth.</p>

Feature Article
<p>One benefit of the <em>No Child Left Behind legislation</em> (2001) has been the increasing attention on the importance of the skills learned in the pre-kindergarten period for later academic achievement. There is a growing awareness that mathematics skills in kindergarten and beyond are influenced by the formal and informal mathematics skills acquired in the pre-kindergarten classroom. In recent years, a body of research has emerged pointing to the contributions to children’s learning from pre-kindergarten program quality as indexed by structure and process elements in the classroom. Results from this study point to three major findings. First, the growth of mathematics skills from pre-kindergarten to kindergarten for the full sample varied between classes but was not significantly associated with the elements of the classroom environment selected for study. Second, classroom elements were differentially related to growth of mathematics scores depending on children’s scores at pre-kindergarten entry.<strong> </strong>Third, overall differences between high- and low-performing children at pre-kindergarten entry are evident in their growth through kindergarten.</p>
