Bright, Tough, and Resilient -- and Not in a Gifted Program.

Peterson, Jean Sunde

Journal of Secondary Gifted Education, v8 n3 p121-36 Spr 1997

Qualitative analysis of language generated in structured interviews with 11 high-ability at-risk middle school children (who had not been identified for gifted programs) yielded information concerning personal difficulties, perceived support, familiarity with danger and violence, home environment, school experiences, perceptions of the future, and resilience. Implications for identification and programming are drawn. (DB)
