Student-Created Public Relations for Gifted Education
Amy Bisland
As funding for education continues to face cuts across the nation, a great need for public relations for gifted education emerges. When school districts look for places to save money, programs that serve gifted students are sometimes viewed as expendable (Kiger, 1998). As a result, it is the job of anyone who wishes to advocate for the needs of gifted students to create an awareness among the school and community that services for gifted students are necessary and contribute to the overall development of the child. Characteristics and needs of high-ability learners should be shared, as well as justification for alternate curricula and instruction (Lewis & Karnes, 2001). Similar to accomplishments in the area of rights for the disabled, sharing the efforts and results of proper environment and instruction can create a level of social support for gifted programming (Brennan, Miller, & Brennan, 2000).
