Reading and Exploring Gifted Education Press Quarterly: A Historical Perspective
We have updated the Gifted Education Press Quarterly Web Site so that it contains all previous issues back to April 1987 (Volme with the same old budget reductions and threats of impending elimination. But by some miracle and lots of persistence, educators and parents of the gifted have withstood these constant onslaughts by politicians, and state and local school boards. They have survived and continued to support the needs of gifted children.
The GEPQ articles from previous years are a rich source of information written by educational leaders such as Susan Winebrenner, Howard Gardner, Joseph Renzulli, Ellen Winner, Joan Smutny, Virgil S. Ward, John Feldhusen, Michael Walters, Jerry Flack, Linda Silverman, James Delisle, Jack Naglieri, James Webb, E. Paul Torrance and Karen Rogers.
