The emphases on thinking, creating, and problem solving provide direction for educators who desire to prepare gifted students to lead a rapidly changing world. The skills learners need today go beyond the standard curriculum; their future and the well-being of our society depend on educational practices that foster these skills and abilities. Inquiry learning, including project- and problem-based learning, is a method for all students to acquire these outcomes; however, it is particularly well-suited to gifted students' inquiry-oriented learning style. Inquiry learning provides the opportunity for true differentiation for exceptional learners and holds the promise of uncovering latent giftedness through developing intellectual character. In this chapter, I will focus on inquiry learning as an effective strategy for optimizing and developing higher order thinking skills in gifted learners, differentiating curriculum in the inclusive classroom (with obvious parallel implications for the benefit of inquiry-based curriculum in cluster and exclusively gifted classroom environments), and the opportunity to reveal giftedness in unidentified learners. In a time of innovation, global connectedness, and technological possibility, educators have the opportunity to provide curriculum that fosters these skills and abilities for today's learners and nurtures the leaders of tomorrow.

This scoping review reflects on the extant research on parents of the gifted following the last critique of the literature offered by Jolly and Matthews in 2012. The method for the search followed the PRISMA-Scr protocol utilizing the SPIDER framework. Articles fell into two main themes of parental awareness and parental actions in the inductive content analysis. Using the a priori focus areas from the Jolly and Matthews article on the second-round content analysis, articles aligned with the five focus areas: examining attitudes and expectations of nontraditional families, studying the full range of satisfaction with school programming, investigating alignment of parental understanding of terms with researchers, determining how parental understandings translate into behaviors, and reviewing relationship dynamics that contribute to underachievement. There was insufficient evidence for a COVID-19 impact on publications. Findings reflect the importance of including international literature and lay the groundwork for a robust mixed-methods synthesis.

Dąbrowski’s theory of positive disintegration has been associated with the psychology of giftedness for four decades, and Sal Mendaglio has significantly contributed to the thoughtful understanding of the theory throughout those 40 years. In this interview, Mendaglio discusses the relationship between the theory of positive disintegration and the psychology of giftedness. Mendaglio addresses potential misunderstanding of the theory as well as the concept of overexcitabilities. He clarifies that Dąbrowski’s theory is not a theory of giftedness; however, the theory as well as Dąbrowski’s concept of intelligence contributed to Mendaglio’s understanding of the psychology of giftedness. Mendaglio cautions against the oversimplification of overexcitabilities and the tools with which the construct has been measured.

Talent development as a framework for understanding giftedness and advancing gifted education services has gained momentum fueled in part by recent publications, discussions, and dissatisfaction with the efficacy and sustainability of traditional approaches in contemporary schools. Important goals in a curriculum focused on talent development include developing an individual's capacity to recognize affordances in natural, social, and technological environments that may multiply individual abilities, and to skillfully and ethically engage with (and add value to) these extended cognitive resources.

In this chapter, we choose to use the term advanced academics in place of gifted and talented for many reasons that will become clear later in this chapter. However, first we want to make a few points before we discuss this approach. We believe that the goals of gifted and talented education are the same as those of any advanced academics program: to assure that all students learn, are appropriately challenged, and have their academic needs met in school. Of course, not all references to "giftedness" deal with K-12 schools. This is the first major difference between the differentiation paradigm and the talent development paradigm, and is part of the reason why we have chosen to avoid the term gifted. The advanced academic model is concerned solely with the education of students in schools. It is not focused on adult learners, talent in other areas of the lifespan, or those individuals who are gifted or otherwise advanced in areas not addressed in schools (e.g., gifted welders or potters, unless those areas of study are part of the academic curriculum of a school, in which case these domains would fall under the advanced academic model).
