Probabilities and Possibilities: The Future of Gifted Education
Catherine A. Little
The advent of the millennium has demonstrated people’s fascination with time, with the calendar, and with the marking of milestones. Although this milestone is really an arbitrary distinction (or, rather, not significant to all world calendars), highlighting the year 2000 has allowed us to consider our past, present, and future in all the domains of our lives. At the 1999 convention of the National Association for Gifted Children, several leading scholars in gifted education participated in a “millennium panel” that featured their perspectives on the past and the future of the field. Their ideas, as well as my own experiences, have influenced how I think about the future of gifted education, including probable directions closely linked to current reality, as well as grand plans and schemes for the ideal. Thus, my vision for gifted education is organized around what I expect will happen and what I think should happen.
