Where can I go to learn more about giftedness and gifted children?
Start at American Mensa’s website, www.us.mensa.org. Go to “Gifted Children” in the “Quick Links” section for access to a variety of information, including a list of recommended books. Be sure to visit the Hoagies’ Gifted Resources link, www.hoagiesgifted.com, home to the Internet’s largest collection of information on gifted children. Other important sites include www.sengifted.org, the website of SENG/Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted, and the website of the Davidson Institute for Talent Development, www.ditd.org/. The Templeton National Report on Acceleration, A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America’s Brightest Students, is essential reading for anyone who cares about gifted children. Go to www.nationdeceived.org to download the entire study, or to order a free paperback copy of Volume One.
