Historical Perspectives: Curriculum for the Gifted Student: Lulu Stedman’s Contributions
Jennifer L. Jolly
The field of gifted education emerged in the midst of the American progressive education movement. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, progressive education provided a pragmatic view of education that exemplified American societal values. “Progressive education was an attempt by educational reformers, psychologists, and philosophers to develop a school experience that would benefit the whole child’s intellectual, social, artistic, and moral development” (Berube, 1994, p. 14). The movement would be based on the scientific findings of evolution and the rising field of “new” psychology in conjunction with child-centered schools, which fostered creativity, self-expression, critical thinking, and individualism (Berube).
