As America moves into the new century, educators have begun the sometimes arduous task of self-evaluation. It is clear from any number of different sources that the way we have been doing business for the past hundred years is no longer viable in terms of the changing global economy and the demands and expectations that will be placed on our gifted students as they take their places in the 21st century.
What is Different about Today’s Gifted Children?
Educators are coming to grips with the realities that we are being asked to prepare students for jobs that have not yet even been invented. We are training them on computer systems that will be obsolete by the time they finish high school. We are asking them to work in teams, where before we have always stressed individual competition and independent development. Our self-evaluation has left us with more questions than answers, and more unknowns than sure things except for one - our gifted children are a precious national resource that we must cherish and support right now if we can expect their leadership in the future.
