	Gifted education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gifted education is a broad term for special practices, procedures and theories used in the education of children in K-12 education who have been identified as gifted or talented.
		Unfortunately, the needs of many gifted students are still neglected, as schools tend to place more emphasis on improving education for the youths on the other side of the spectrum.
		The Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Student Education Act of 1988 was renewed as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1994 and as part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.

		The purpose of this study was to examine whether gifted achievers and gifted underachievers differ in their general academic self-perceptions, attitudes toward school, attitudes toward teachers, motivation and self-regulation, and goal valuation.
		For many educators, the goal of programmes for the gifted is "the education of identified gifted students." This article argues that this goal makes gifted and talented programmes vulnerable to discontinuation and relegates gifted children to inclusionary, regular classrooms where their needs are rarely met.
		The role of elementary school administrators and its relationship to the education of gifted and talented children is examined from two different perspectives, that of a principal of a private school for gifted children and of that of a principal of a public school which serves as a gifted magnet school.
