University Of Alabama Launches Gifted Education, Talent Development Office

By David MillerUniversity of Alabama

The University of Alabama’s College of Education will help strengthen the state of Alabama’s gifted education programs through the recent launch of the Gifted Education and Talent Development Office.

The office will consolidate all the college’s gifted education research, teaching, service and programming, and offer more professional development for educators and outreach to parents.

Jennifer Jolly, associate professor of gifted education, will direct the office. She hopes to begin outreach by identifying research partners in schools across the state.“We’ll also begin learning more about schools’ early childhood programs to understand how this fits into our research agenda,” Jolly said. “Identifying children for gifted education at an early age is extremely important, especially for low-income kids.”
