[Croft, Laurie J]

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Just an FYI:  Jonathan Plucker was on faculty at the University of Indiana (you can read more about him at http://portal.education.indiana.edu/ProfilePlaceHolder/tabid/6210/Default.aspx?u=jplucker)  when he wrote the original report entitled Mind the [Other] Gap; that report is available at https://www.iub.edu/~ceep/Gap/excellence/ExcellenceGapBrief.pdf.  There is additional information available at https://www.iub.edu/~ceep/Gap/!

Friends:

A new blog installment has been posted on a report from UConn that addresses education excellence, and it has some compelling points and recommendations that connect with gifted ed issues. The blog piece is Talent on the Sidelines: The Widening Gap in Excellence, by Scott Barry Kaufman. The full report is by a UConn professor, Jonathan Plucker, entitled Talent on the Sidelines: Excellence Gaps and the Persistence of America’s Permanent Talent Underclass. It examines and references NAEP data.  Links are below.

Best wishes,
Art Snyder
