This handbook examines what education would look like if it
prepared gifted students to transform the world—to make it a
better place for all, not just for those who receive extra
resources from schools in return for being labeled as “gifted.”
The editors explore how transformationally gifted people can seek
to make the world a better and more just place: they try to make a
positive, meaningful, and possibly enduring contribution to
changing things in the world that are not working. They do not view
“giftedness” merely as a transaction whereby, in exchange for
being labeled as “gifted,” they accrue benefits to themselves:
such as a more prestigious education, more income, or residence in
a more exclusive community. The overarching aim of this book is to
present conceptions of what identification and instruction of the
gifted would look like if the focus of gifted education was
transformational rather than transactional. What if gifted
education did not focus so much on acceleration vs. enrichment, or
pull-out versus in-class integration, but rather on how to be
gifted in giving back—in using one’s gifts to create a better
world?
