ABSTRACT
It is also important to note the many precautions against taking medication prescribed for someone else with the same symptoms without consulting a physician. So, too, a program for gifted services should never be “borrowed” from another district. Rather, a quality program for gifted students in a school district must be developed based on the best and most current research and theory, given our best understanding of the unique educational, social, and emotional needs of the students in that school district. Additionally, we must follow through with an evaluation to determine whether the program has been implemented and is achieving its desired effects.
