Research
Since its inception, the Center for Gifted Education has been engaged in applied research and program evaluations. The Center has been sponsored by the USDOE under the Javits Grant for curriculum development initiatives and research for 15 years. The centerpiece of many of our research studies has focused on the evaluation of the William & Mary curriculum units and their effectiveness in classrooms. The Center has also contracted with state or local agencies for medium or small scale research and evaluation studies; these studies have been instrumental in helping key leaders and policy makers at different levels in decision-making and developing strategic plans for gifted program improvement.
