| You don't prepare a young man or woman to become a
world class athlete by keeping him or her in regular gym classes and by
not allowing him or her to compete against other youngsters who can
provide appropriate levels of challenge. You don't develop world leaders
such as Martin Luther King, Golda Meir, and Mahatma Gandhi by having
them practice basic skills over and over again or by reiterating mundane
concepts that they can undoubtedly learn faster than all their
schoolmates and, in some cases, even many of their teachers. Talent
development is the 'business' of our field, and we must never lose sight
of this goal. -- Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis |
