  2. U.S. Department of Education JACOB K. JAVITS GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS EDUCATION PROGRAM

  3. The purpose of the Javits program is to carry out a coordinated program of scientifically based research, demonstration projects, innovative strategies, and similar activities designed to build and enhance the ability of elementary and secondary schools to meet the special educational needs of gifted and talented students. The major emphasis of the program is on serving students traditionally under represented in gifted and talented programs, particularly economically disadvantaged, limited English proficient, and disabled students, to help reduce the serious gap in achievement among certain groups of students at the highest levels of achievement. PURPOSE

  4. National Research Center • The Javits program funds the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented located at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, in collaboration with the University of Virginia, Yale University, and Columbia University. • The consortium includes over 360 public and private schools, 337 school districts, 52 State and territorial departments of education, and a consultant bank of 167 researchers associated with 86 universities throughout the United States and Canada.

  5. RESEARCH RESULTS • What are the most effective ways of identifying, nurturing, and developing the many talents of students from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds? • How can programs developed for gifted and talented students be used to improve the education of all students within a school? • How can researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and others work together to design and conduct research and ensure that it informs policy and practice?

  6. LEGISLATION • Students with talent are found in all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor. To support the development of gifted and talented students in the United States, the U.S. Congress reauthorized the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act as Title V, Part D, Subpart 6 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This legislation reauthorizes the U.S. Department of Education to fund grants, provide leadership, and sponsor a national research center on the education of gifted and talented students.

  7. SUBPART 6 • The purpose of this subpart is to initiate a coordinated program of scientifically based research, demonstration projects, innovative strategies, and similar activities designed to build and enhance the ability of elementary schools and secondary schools nationwide to meet the special educational needs of gifted and talented students.
