This book provides an opportunity for researchers, professionals,
and practitioners working directly with gifted individuals to
engage with and examine the concept of underachievement of highly
capable and talented individuals from different perspectives.
Chapters written by experts in gifted education from diverse
backgrounds explore underachievement in principle, illuminate
underachievement as a response to written and unwritten policy and
practice, showcase ranges of intellectual capability outside of
traditional academic subjects, shift deficit views of not meeting
rigid expectations to honoring interests and cultural values of the
individual, and provide suggested and proven practices and services
as solutions to bridge the gaps in achievement and performance for
gifted and talented students. Expertly blending theory with
practice, Underachievement in Gifted Education is a must read for
all practitioners, educators of gifted individuals, and researchers
seeking more opportunities to help students align how they choose
to exhibit their talent and efforts with external and internal
expectations, personal interests, and cultural values to reach
their maximum potential.
