Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: This paper reviews the literature on the Talent Search identification model \nthat was developed by Julian Stanley as the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth \nat Johns Hopkins in the 1970s and implemented by the Center for Talented Youth from \nthe early 1980s through to the present. Other universities in the United States have also \nadopted this model for talent identification and development, and it has been adapted \nfor use in other countries. To date, more than 3.5 million students have participated in \nTalent Search assessments, and hundreds of thousands of students have enrolled in \nspecialized academic programs for able learners. Here we analyze the model’s \nfounding principles, its universal characteristics, and its application and functioning in \nSpain. We conclude with some reflections about what we have learned and what could \nbe done worldwide.
