Genius Denied
Volume 5 / Issue 1 / Fall 2004
A new Web site based on the book Genius Denied: How to Stop Wasting Our Brightest Young Minds, by Jan Davidson, Bob Davidson, and Laura Vanderkam (Simon and Schuster, 2004), pulls together an array of information often needed by parents, education professionals, policy makers, and others advocating for appropriate educational services for gifted and talented students. The official Web site www.geniusdenied.com contains valuable data regarding gifted education policy for all 50 states. Users can browse for statistical information (number of students identified as gifted and talented, dollars allocated to gifted and talented, number of students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses, etc.), legislation and policies (whether gifted education legislation exists and mandates services; whether state policy supports grade skipping, early entrance to kindergarten, acceleration, etc.), and opportunities for gifted and talented students within their states.
