| Summary: | In February 2015 the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Board of Directors voted unanimously to create a task force on talent development for the purpose of researching, discussing, and assessing where NAGC is and where it should be going relative to its talent development emphasis. A diverse group of experienced leaders agreed to serve. The Talent Development Task Force met for the first time on March 16, 2015, and met monthly, finalizing this report on November 2, 2015. Fundamental issues related to talent development (TD) were discussed and the task force (TF) members reached consensus on the group's priorities: (1) The most important undertaking, particularly in light of disagreements related to the meaning of the term, was to describe "talent development" (TD) in such a way that clarified the term as it relates to gifted children and youth; and (2) After describing TD as a framework for understanding giftedness and elaborating on the promise of such a framework for gifted education services, the TF would tackle a second priority -- developing a list of recommendations for the NAGC Board for specific activities, including future events, reports, and other projects related to TD. This report addresses these two priorities. |
