WORKING TOGETHER Harnessing Community Resources to Improve Middle Schools THREE COMMUNITY COALITIONS Jackson, Mississippi: Council on Reform and Excellence Working together for excellence and equity Jackson's public schools have had a turbulent history over the years since 1963, when the Mississippi legislature threatened to close the schools rather than desegregate. Race was the explicit topic of that struggle, but according to Winifred Green, president of a local community-based organization, it remains implicit in any discussion of school reform. "Race pervades everything we talk about," she says, "but after we've answered the access questions, we need to ask, >How do we achieve excellence and equity in education?' Citizen participation isn't the answer to that question, but it is essential to finding the answer." In 1994, Green's organizationthe Southern Coalition for Educational Equityjoined with the Jackson school system to establish the Council on Reform and Excellence, a community coalition to improve middle school education. H. Ann Jones, a community leader, businesswoman, and member of the local school board, was also interested in the idea. And the time was right. Jackson had a new and dynamic superintendent, Ben Canada, who had begun to restructure the system to create middle schools, rather than traditional junior highs. The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation had been supporting a process of middle school reform in Jackson for several years, and people inside the schools felt it was time to share their message with the wider community.

Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. Leadership Development and Gifted Students All cultures need role models and leaders. Most of us agree that professions such as medicine, technology, education, business and industry, politics, and the arts need people who can use intelligence, creativity, and critical judgment. The role of parents and educators is critical in assisting with the development of leadership attitudes and skills in gifted youth. Leadership has been designated a talent area in federal and state definitions of gifted students who require differentiated programs, yet it remains the least discussed of the curricular areas for these students in the literature, and it is not well defined. Characteristics of Leadership in Gifted Youth Few gifted programs identify students with high leadership potential or incorporate leadership education into their curricula. However, many characteristics of gifted youth enable them to profit from leadership development. Those characteristics include the following:
