Over the past few decades, there has been a change in prevailing definitions and understandings of intelligence, in the ways that giftedness is identified and in the programming that is recommended for exceptionally capable learners. After a brief description of the historical and conceptual underpinnings of this paradigm shift, we discuss here its practical consequences, including connections to current psychological research on mindsets, and to teaching that promotes both intellectual and emotional learning. Throughout, our focus is on what this means for understanding and supporting high-level development in diverse kinds of learners.

Ian Warwick has been working with inner city students and educators for many years now to develop a broad-based approach to gifted education that can be available to every student and teacher. He has written this chapter with Dona Matthews on an initiative currently in place in London. They observe that there are enormous benefits not only for families and students, but also for schools and for society as a whole when educators see cultural diversity as a strength to be capitalized on, rather than a problem to be solved.

One of the controversies in the field with a history of conflicting findings concerns whether or not giftedness leads to a preference for independent study. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the literature on this topic, describing a study they have recently completed, and reporting on their nuanced findings. They conclude that it is really a question of 'match': when exceptionally capable learners do not feel supported, they prefer to learn alone, but when they are in situations that facilitate their learning goals, they can thrive in mixed groups.

The authors describe the Renzulli Learning System (RLS), a way that teachers can use technology to differentiate effectively for a broad range of individual differences and diverse student needs, and increased pressures to improve student achievement. The main goal of the RLS is simultaneously to increase achievement and the enjoyment of learning by making available an easy-to-use, research-based system that promotes student engagement. Research on the role of student engagement is clear and unequivocal: high engagement results in higher achievement, improved self-concept and self-efficacy, and more favorable attitudes toward school and learning.

In France, educational practices concerning gifted and talented young people have long been the object of discussion. These discussions can be traced back to work carried out by Binet (1911), whose name is usually associated with studying pupils with learning difficulties, but whose research also led to pedagogy for young people with high results in his intelligence test. There is a real contrast when we compare the attitude of the educational authorities in France toward the gifted on one hand, and the talented on the other. Conclusions in this chapter include the need for teacher education concerning giftedness, and for providing the same kind of support to intellectual and academic development as is provided for athletic and artistic development.

The authors grapple with the fundamental questions surrounding creative giftedness and talent, addressing issues of definition, development, identification and education. They recommend infusing creativity into teacher development, as well as taking it into consideration in gifted identification and curriculum design and delivery, and also affirming the importance of supporting the development of creative giftedness in all students.

The contemporary Russian educational system is struggling with the many economic and social issues that resulted from the global instability following the collapse of the Soviet Union, when much of the financial, political, and social support for education in general and gifted education in particular eroded. This chapter addresses the current state of affairs in mathematics and science education for the gifted in post-Soviet Russia and describes (a) the infrastructure of gifted education; (b) the identification of giftedness; (c) the nature and scope of gifted and specialized programs (and schools), with a separate discussion of programs in mathematics and science; and (d) the trajectory of talent development and realization (i.e. performance in mathematics and science olympiads for youth compared with adult employment). The chapter expands and supplements the discussion offered in Yurkevich and Davidovich (this volume; see record 2008-17742-013) on general trends in the education of gifted children in Russia and focuses specifically on such trends in the teaching of mathematics and science, the domains in which gifted education in Russia has previously been recognized as one of the world-leaders (Grigorenko 2000). Today, there are many interesting innovations in teaching the social sciences and humanities to gifted children, but this field is still in development and needs further crystallization.
