ABSTRACT
Evidence-based practices that inform the teacher preparation and programming standards in gifted education relate to assessment, curriculum, instruction, and grouping issues, all of which are embedded within the Common Core State Standards and the NAGC-CEC Teacher Knowledge and Skill Standards for Gifted and Talented Education. The developers of the CCSS used national and international research on teaching and learning mathematics in the creation of the standards. In June 2010, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics, and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators issued a joint statement in support of the CCSS.
