188. National Excellence A Case For Developing America's Talent- 1993 A report on the status of the education of the nation's gifted and talented students, described as the quiet crisis. http://www.ed.gov/pubs/DevTalent/intro.html

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n National Excellence: A Case for Developing America's Talent - October 1993 Foreword More than 20 years have elapsed since the last national report on the status of educating gifted and talented students. Much has changed since that report alerted Americans to the pressing needs of these youngsters and challenged policymakers to provide them with a better education. National Excellence: The Case for Developing America's Talent discusses these changes. It also describes the "quiet crisis" that continues in how we educate top students. Youngsters with gifts and talents that range from mathematical to musical are still not challenged to work to their full potential. Our neglect of these students makes it impossible for Americans to compete in a global economy demanding their skills. Americans can celebrate improvements over the past two decades in how we educate gifted and talented students. The public is more aware that these students have special needs that are seldom met. The number of programs for gifted and talented youngsters has grown substantially. Many states have enacted legislation encouraging local school districts to provide special opportunities for high-achieving and talented students. And, most significantly, model programs for gifted and talented students have challenged educators to improve curriculum and teaching strategies and encouraged them to raise expectations for all students. But American education is now at a turning pointone that requires us to reach beyond current programs and practices. As the nation strives to improve its schools, the concerns of students with outstanding talents must not be ignored. International tests comparing American students with those in other countries show that students at all levels of achievement are not performing as well as students in many other countries. It is clear that many more American students must learn more complex material, and to do this they must work harder.

194. Better Education For Students And Teachers Act Meanwhile, disadvantaged talented and gifted students remain in public school through the advocacy efforts of the Iowa talented and gifted Association. http://grassley.senate.gov/education4.html

Statement By Senator Charles E. Grassley Cochran Amendment number 512 to S.1 the Better Education for Students and Teachers Act Mr. President, I rise in support of the Cochran Amendment to the Better Education for Students and Teachers Act. Specifically, I would like to speak to two elements of this amendment that are of particular importance to me and my state of Iowa. I would first like to speak to a portion of this amendment that addresses an often overlooked segment of our student population, gifted and talented children. There are approximately three million children in the United States who are considered gifted and talented. It is important to point out that these gifted and talented children do not simply possess an extraordinary level of intelligence, but they actually have a unique way of thinking and learning. Gifted and talented children look at the world differently and often have a different way of interacting socially. As a result, gifted and talented students have different educational needs from other students. These remarkable children have enormous potential. Today's gifted and talented child may grow up to become a leader in the field of science or a world-renowned performer. However, this will not happen automatically. Gifted and talented children need to be challenged and their unique skills must be nurtured. Currently, many gifted and talented children do not receive the educational programs and services they need to live up to their potential. In fact, many gifted and talented children lose interest in school; they learn how to expend minimum effort for top grades, have low motivation, and develop poor work habits. Others abandon their education altogether and drop out of school. This is a tragedy not only for the students, but also for our society.
