Looking Outward: Exploring the Intersections of Sociocultural Theory and Gifted Education

Kimberly McGlonn-Nelson

As scholars in the field of gifted education continue to explore ways of improving the educational services provided to gifted and talented students, attention must be paid to the infinite amount of potential that an interdisciplinary theory offers. To this end, the following essay explores the intersections of sociocultural theory and gifted education. More specifically, it extends sociocultural theory to the field of gifted education by proposing a new lens for not only expanding the responsibilities of the field in terms of its ability to properly identify gifted students, but also for educating new teachers of the gifted.
