National Standards for Teachers of Gifted and Talented Students |
By Susan Johnsen, Ph.D. and Joyce VanTassel-Baska, Ed.D.
Gifted program standards are a necessary feature of ensuring that the highly able learners in our society are adequately identified and nurtured in the context of school settings. In order for talent search and programming to occur systematically and to ensure equity, it is essential that teachers are educated in the relevant theory, research, pedagogy, and management techniques essential to developing and sustaining classroom-based opportunities for these students to learn (VanTassel-Baska, 2006).
