Impact of Two Elementary School Principals’ Leadership on Gifted Education in Their Buildings
Joan D. Lewis, Patricia A. Cruzeiro and Charmaine A. Hall
Currently, principals are involved with a variety of programs offered in schools, such as IDEA, English Language Learners, Title I remedial services, migrant education, and gifted and talented programs. Added to the list of responsibilities is the No Child Left Behind (NCLB; 2001) law that promulgates that no child will be left behind academically. However, there is “a growing recognition that gifted students are being poorly served by most public schools” (Hoy & Hoy, 2003, p. 39). Are principals really serving the gifted and talented students in our schools? The purpose of this study was to investigate principal leadership on gifted education in schools that were known to have high-quality elementary gifted programs.
