Gifted Program Evaluation: Ensuring Equity and Excellence

This book is an important and practical guide—grounded in research—for implementing a comprehensive evaluation that can assess all the necessary components of an effective gifted education program.

The aspects of programming covered include:

1. Definition of giftedness
2. Identification procedures
3. Program offerings
4. School and community environment, public relations, and staff development

A discussion of appropriate procedures for disseminating results is also included along with some evaluation models which can serve as a basis for an individual plan. The materials in this volume are designed to be used in evaluating existing programs, but they are also useful when implementing new programs.

Dr Monaco is Professor of Gifted Education and Director of the Center for Gifted and Talented at the University of Houston. This book is a result of five years research led by her with a team of graduate students.
