Instructional Provisions for Academically Talented Students in English
Abstract
That part of current educational thought which holds that the program of the academically talented student be so designed and so enriched that he might more fully develop his abilities and talents was given impetus by the launching by the Soviet Union of Sputnik I in 1957 and the publication of James B. Conant's The American High School Today in 1959. The degree to which a secondary school gives consideration to individual pupils' differing talents, intellectual capacities, and future interests has, in fact, become a criterion in its approval. Since the investigations of Conant and others have indicated that larger secondary schools are better able to minister to the differing needs of their students than are smaller schools, the study of provisions in such larger schools to meet these needs would seem in order. investigation was such a study.
