The Center for Gifted Education at The College of William and Mary, a research and development center, was established in 1988 under the direction of Dr. Joyce VanTassel-Baska. The Center provides services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, parents, and students in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the Center has established a national reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center.
Since 1980, the Duke Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) has been a world leader in identifying academically talented students and providing innovative programs to support the development of their optimal potential.
The American Association for Gifted Children (AAGC) is the nation's oldest advocacy organization for gifted children. It was established in the late 1940's. Over the course of its history, AAGC has published materials for the educational research community, for people in the medical profession, and for parents and teachers of gifted children. Currently, AAGC publishes a newsletter three times yearly; an occasional series called Working Papers, a publication which circulates information from the educational research community; and other materials. Financial support comes primarily from individual donors. AAGC continues to focus its energies to provide parents of gifted students with information that will assist them in raising their exceptional children.
