Running the Long Race in Gifted Education

Narratives and Interviews from Culturally Diverse Gifted Adults

Individuals identified as gifted carry a tremendous responsibility to use their abilities to the utmost. But how do they ensure successful outcomes if society lacks knowledge about their differentness?

Fifteen authors answer that question . . . and more in Running the Long Race in Gifted Education: Narratives and Interviews from Culturally Diverse Gifted Adults.  Editors Joy M. Scott-Carrol and Anthony Sparks have assembled authors representing a range of racial, ethnic, and regional backgrounds. Their stories reveal a wealth of experiences, challenges met, and barriers overcome.
