para una mejor comprensión, y en la parte final ahí están los 2 archivos adjuntos uno el texto en Español y el 2do en Ingles, este documento finaliza con dos conclusiones: La Primera es que el desarrollo del Talento de los Niños Superdotados requiere de mas enriquecimiento, alimentar mas su capacidad Intelectual. ("puntos fuertes de cabeza). La segunda es que el éxito en la vida adulta requiere tanto las fortalezas de la cabeza y los puntos fuertes del Corazón.
Finalmente decirles que la NAGC inicia su comunicación diciéndome Bienvenido a la 62 Convención en Arizona, porque la primera comunicación e invitación la realizaron en el mes de Abril, por lo que parecería que la suerte esta echada, estar nuevamente en USA.

Obama Administration Calls for Limits on Testing in Schools
Faced with mounting and bipartisan opposition to increased and often high-stakes testing in the nation's public schools, the Obama administration has declared that the push had gone too far, acknowledged its own role in the proliferation of tests, and urged schools to step back and make exams less onerous and more purposeful.

Will STEM Education Be the Child Left Behind?
Leaders in business, education and politics love to talk up how important science, technology, engineering and math education is for America's future. Innovations! Jobs! Progress! are all at stake, they often argue.

US Student Performance Slips on National Test
Fourth-graders and eighth-graders across the United States lost ground on national mathematics tests this year, the first declines in scores since the federal government began administering the exams in 1990. Reading performance also was sobering: Eighth-grade scores dropped, according to results released Oct. 28, while fourth-grade performance was stagnant compared with 2013, the last time students took the test.

New Professional Standards For School Leaders Are Approved
After more than a year of deliberations, a set of professional standards for education school leaders are set to head out the door. The National Policy Board for Educational Administration unanimously adopted the standards. They will no longer go by the acronym ISLLC, short for Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium standards, as they have been known since they were first devised and adopted as professional benchmarks for principals and school leaders in 1996.

Washington School District to Offer New AP Curriculum Next Fall
The College Board has come up with a new way for accomplished high school students to distinguish themselves: AP Capstone, a program meant to supplement and enrich advanced placement courses.

Schools Seek to Diversify Gifted, Honors Classes
It's no secret that gifted and honors classes are often whiter and wealthier than their schools as a whole. At every stage of students' educational careers, the pipeline to academically advanced study narrows for many low-income and minority students. Research suggests years of little biases add up, shaping who gets identified for gifted education and advanced courses and how many hoops they jump through to do so. READ MORE

Don't Retreat on Teaching Ohio's Gifted Kids, Advocates Say
Ohio is looking to update its 7-year-old standards governing how school districts must teach gifted children. But the proposal being considered by the State Board of Education has upset some advocates of gifted education and experts who work with gifted children. They say it's inadequate and they weren't consulted. The proposed rules take up two pages, while the current ones are on 15 pages. READ MORE

We Don't Test Students As Much As People Think We Do
President Obama recently made a dramatic Facebook video announcement. In an apparent about-face from his administration's education policy over the past seven years, Obama declared that schools in this country are over-testing. "I . . . hear from parents who rightly worry about too much testing, and from teachers who feel so much pressure to teach to a test that it takes the joy out of teaching and learning both for them and for the students," the president said. "I want to fix that." READ MORE

How New York Fails Students Who Are Gifted But Poor
New York is leaving gifted children behind. Scads of K–3 students in low-income neighborhoods aren't even taking entrance exams for gifted programs. Four of the city's 32 school districts don't even have programs for gifted students, and many that do aren't getting the word out. Which leaves it to savvy, pushy parents and watchful teachers to nudge kids forward, an arrangement that nearly always works better in middle-class communities. READ MORE

A Legal Test for Texas Home-Schoolers: Do You Have to Prove You've Learned Something?
In an empty office at the family's El Paso motorcycle dealership, Laura McIntyre says her nine kids were learning. McIntyre's brother-in-law says they were singing and playing instruments. Learning was unnecessary, one of the children allegedly said, because "they were going to be raptured." The two will take their dispute to the Texas Supreme Court next week, in a case that involves a fundamental question that could impact all 300,000 or so children home-schooled in Texas. READ MORE

Gifted Yet Disadvantaged Students May Be Getting Short Shrift
Under federal law, states and school districts must track the educational progress, or lack thereof, of poor students, minorities and those still learning English. And they're continually working to ensure those students don't fall behind, or if they do, that there's a plan in place to catch them up. But what about the country's highest-achieving students? Who's responsible for them? READ MORE

2 Lessons on How To Support Gifted Kids
Two lessons about how to support gifted students really stand out. The first is that developing the talent of highly gifted kids requires more than simply nurturing their intellectual ability ("head strengths"). The second is that success in adult life requires both head strengths and heart strengths. Let me explain. READ MORE
