The text reports on findings of the Richardson study, a 4-year examination of current programing for gifted and talented students. An introductory chapter comments upon current attention to gifted education and summarizes reflections on home and school influences of MacArthur Fellows. Chapter 2 reviews results of a national survey of school districts' programing which touched upon such aspects as programing options, identification, grade levels, and written philosophy. The third chapter identifies five promising practices and describes examples of each: (1) internationally oriented education; (2) internships and mentor programs; (3) school and college collaboration; (4) summer programs geared to excellence; and (5) specialized schools. The final chapter presents recommendations regarding discovering and nurturing talent, providing for flexible pacing, and ensuring comprehensive programs. An imaginary district with an ideal program is cited. The Pyramid Project, a model Texas program, is discussed as an example of the study's recommendations. (Cl).

This concise monograph addresses the expanding field of family involvement to out of school time (OST). OST may be defined as time outside of state required time limits for compulsory school attendance but time in which students are engaged in planned academic or enrichment activities. During the past decade, OST programs have burgeoned across the United States. OST programs are offered to children and youth, elementary through high school, as structured and safe venues to increase student academic achievement, and extend students’ interests. Chapter authors share promising practices from a range of backgrounds, including nonprofit organizations, faith-based, health, and governmental agencies as well as university-school connections. Contents describe the benefits and concerns of parent engagement in OST, such as student outcomes of parent engagement in OST, how parents select appropriate programs, ways to connect with parents to assure regular attendance of youth, methods to solicit families to participate in OST activities, and evaluation measures.
