Educating Gifted and Talented Youth for High-Level Expertise and Creative Achievement

Longitudinal research on the development of gifted and talented youth suggests that they profit from accelerated, fast paced, and challenging instruction. The research also shows that educational services focused on their special talents may be more effective than general enrichment programs. Ideally instruction and educational programs should be designed to help precocious youth achieve at very high creative levels or to attain high level and creative expertise.
