The foundation for talent development as a framework for gifted education can be found in a synthesis of the psychological literature on creativity, eminence, giftedness, and high performance. The talent development framework acknowledges the contributions of both general cognitive ability and domain-specific abilities to achievement, as well as the malleability of these ability constructs. Talent development is also consistent with research on the contributions of non-cognitive or psychosocial factors to school achievement, as well as studies on factors that influence the attainment of scholarly productivity and artistry within specific domains of non-academic talent. Although there are several theoretical frameworks and models of giftedness, talent development, ability, and intelligence, each with varied areas of emphasis and desired outcomes, the research base and practical applications for the talent development megamodel (TDMM) can serve as a guide to leaders and school administrators in making fiscal and programmatic decisions that maximize short- and long-term impacts for individuals and society. In this article, we discuss some of the practical implications of the model for assessment, curriculum and instruction, and psychosocial development within a school context.

This chapter focuses on gifted and talented education (GATE) in service of US students who are given the label, gifted and talented, and students who have the potential to earn that label. It discusses that the notion of potential is related to the philosophy of giftedness. However, the focus on potential is also related to concerns about equity of identification and access to programs. The chapter is intended to help schools serve all students with high academic potential. It begins with a brief overview of the history of gifted education, a definition of giftedness, and an overview of the talent development megamodel on which the work is based. The chapter provides some guidance on how to use assessment as a tool for identifying students with well-developed talents as well as students with potential. Using the Cole and Siegel (2003) model, it discusses consultation in the context of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and intervention, adapted for the context of maximizing talent development rather than managing risk. The chapter provides an annotated bibliography of print and electronic resources that can be used by educators and school personnel in working with gifted and talented students.

In this chapter, the authors present a comprehensive conception of talent development that draws from research in the psychological sciences and is applicable across diverse domains, from academics and athletics to the visual and performing arts. The model is distinguished by the following components: (a) recognizing the varied beginnings of domain trajectories from the earliest manifestations of talent to expertise and beyond; (b) promoting the role of opportunities not only inside, but outside, and beyond school; and (c) the increasing importance of malleable social and mental skills as well as insider knowledge as individuals progress to higher stages of performance and creative productivity.

Gifted education in the United States is not a high priority. Federal funding is allocated primarily through the Javits Act, a federal initiative that funds intervention research aimed at traditionally underserved populations of gifted learners. Poverty has many deleterious effects on children, and these can begin at birth. The achievement gap is present at the start of school and persists through all levels of schooling. This chapter provides several strategies for schools to use in operationalizing giftedness using a talent development framework. Very often, schools or districts rely on teachers to recommend students for gifted services as either a first step in their identification protocol or as a major component in the identification process. The field of gifted education has tended to approach programming with a one-size-fits-all strategy. Schools can help students envision a future trajectory and identity within their talent area by exposing them to professionals that share their educational and career paths. The image associated with school psychology and gifted education is typically an IQ test. School psychology training includes the limitations of individual test scores, the understanding of potential, and the important role that culture and identity can play in performance outcomes.
