Research consistently highlights the gap between the practice in schools and the developments in
gifted theory and research. How can you, as an education leader, use evidence to help overcome
this gap to improve the effectiveness, defensibility, and sustainability of a gifted program at your
organization (or desired professional role upon completing your doctorate) to meet the needs of
gifted students? Use evidence to support your assertions. Include personal and practical
applications for practice. After reading the above required article, locate 1 additional journal
article pertaining to gifted education research and theory. This 3-4-page paper should be written
in current APA format, contain a title page and reference page (not included in the page count),
and include a minimum of 2 citations (1 from each of the 2 journal articles). Only paraphrasing
and summarizing may be used for citations.
