Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide basic data and implications for gifted education in China by identifying the degree of awareness of Chinese parents about the characteristics of gifted children, gifted children indentify, gifted education according to the general characteristics of parents. Methods To this end, ‘wenjuanxing’ (https://www.wjxcn/jq/101862383.aspx) surveyed 1,028 parents of Foreign Language School A in Anqing City, Anhui Province and School B in Wufu City, Anhui Province. For the collected data, percentage and frequency analysis was performed on the general characteristics of Chinese parents, and a chi-square test was performed to analyze the results of Chinese parents' perceptions of gifted characteristics and giftedness identify and gifted education according to general characteristics. Results The results of this study are comprehensively summarized as follows. First, in Chinese parents' perceptions of giftedness, parents recognized ‘children with excellent academic performance and high intelligence’ as gifted, and viewed ‘high intelligence’ as the greatest characteristic of gifted children. And area of gifted children, the highest question was about ‘what characteristics gifted children exhibit’, and they recognized that ‘both genetic and environmental factors are important’ in order to develop giftedness. Second, regarding the identification of gifted children, it was recognized that ‘3 - 5 years old’ was the most appropriate time to identify gifted children. Lastly, in the perception of gifted education, fathers and mothers agreed on the perception that gifted education is ‘education to cultivate creative thinkers’, but they showed a difference of opinion on the necessity of gifted education. As for the reason why it was necessary, it was confirmed that there was a common view that ‘Gift education is necessary for the development of potential’, but opinions differed as to the reason why it was not necessary. In addition, 86.6% of the survey subjects expressed their intention to participate in parenting education in order to make their children gifted, but the reason why they would receive parental education was had different opinions. Conclusions Chinese parents did not have a diverse understanding of gifted children and gifted education. To this end, there is a need to manage important issues such as public education and national standards for gifted education and establishment of an education system.

Abstract:

Among the critical issues in gifted child education which have emerged from the 1980s is the failure to appropriately identify and adequately program for primary gifted children. This paper examines the problems embedded in the accurate assessment of exceptional potential in populations of young children from minority and/or economically disadvantaged settings. Assessment issues are examined in the light of recent research on developmentally appropriate evaluation of young children. Historical and current practices are reviewed and descriptions of two innovative approaches to non-traditional assessment of young children are provided.

Abstract:

Until very recently, little attention has been focused on children who are both gifted and learning disabled. Because of their contradictory characteristics, these children are usually undetected by teachers or school psychologists. Close analysis of WISC-R responses and profiles in the context of a very broad clinical assessment for learning disability can assist the school psychologist in identifying these children so that they can be placed in educational programmes appropriate to their unique needs.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study, which involved preschool teachers, was to explore the area of working with musically gifted children. In particular, we focused on the identification of musically gifted children and monitoring of their musical development, preschool teachers’ competence for working with children, and evaluation of factors important for the development of musically gifted children. Research results showed that the majority of preschool teachers: were able to identify musically gifted children; rarely monitored and documented children’s musical development systematically and did not acquire enough knowledge for working with musically gifted children during their formal and informal education. Among the important factors influencing the development of musically gifted children, preschool teachers pointed out motivation to work with musically gifted children, identification of musically gifted children, cooperation with music experts and parents, and implementation of additional musical activities.

Abstract:

A regular classroom contains a diverse group of learners. Learners with very divergent characteristics sometimes. Classroom activities should be planned in such a way that every learner‟s needs are provided for and every learner is guided towards achieving his maximum potential. Failure to do so may lead some learners into delinquent behaviors and some may even drop out. Classroom activities seem to be planned with the average learners and the learning disadvantaged in mind. Most times learning facilitators do not factor in the needs of gifted children when planning classroom activities. It is believed that 6% of students in the public school are gifted. This percentage of students have the capacity to impact positively on national development if their gifts are identified and maximized. However, this seems not to be the case. Only the gifted students who find their way into specialized gifted schools have the privilege of having their gifts developed. The program for selection of students into gifted programs seems to be flawed in climes where statistics exist. To the extent that minority groups and low-income groups seem to be discriminated from assessing gifted programs. The researcher‟s position regarding this situation is that every school prepares for the gifted child as well while selecting and designing learning experiences. That every classroom facilitator be equipped to identify and to cater the needs of the gifted child within the normal inclusive classroom in order that no child‟s gift is ignored. Teacher‟s training programs should include training for identification and catering for gifted children. This will also reduce the rate of delinquency and school drop out that results from boredom of gifted children who are under-challenged and contribute to national development. This paper covers the following areas: Introduction, theoretical framework, the concept of giftedness in the classroom, characteristics of gifted learners, Giftedness as a means for reducing delinquency, school dropout rate and achieving national development, identifying gifted learners, meeting the needs of the gifted child in an inclusive classroom, and conclusion.

Abstract:

In the paper is designed questionnaire to evaluate the situation and the need for gifted and talented students. The sample consisted of the condition and needs of gifted students in Croatian primary schools among 378 primary school teachers and subject teachers of all profiles. Factor analysis of the questionnaire obtained three factors: 1) Special programs, methods and forms of work with gifted children, 2) Direct social care for gifted children, 3) Identification of gifted children. They then tested the results on those three factors with respect to the different categories of teachers with regard to: a) three different regions of the Republic of Croatia, b) different profiles, c) the different years of service, and d) a different education of gifted children. The survey results show that teachers in primary schools by region of Croatia significantly more use of special programs, methods and forms of work in southern and central Croatian regions in relation to the north. In the central and northern regions compared to Croatian southern region teachers significantly more direct care for gifted children at different levels of society. The results of the factor of identification of gifted students are the lowest among teachers, which is not surprising because it is primarily business of school social services, they were significantly higher in southern and central Croatian regions in relation to the north. All profiles of teachers with gifted students statistically most do special programs, methods and forms of work, then care of gifted children. At least participate in the identification of gifted students. All categories of teachers with respect to years of service, as well as with regard to the education of gifted statistically most implemented specific programs, methods and forms of work with gifted children, then care of gifted at all levels of society, and at least participate in their identification. Concern about gifted students in the Republic of Croatia is still not satisfactory, and the paper provides some guidelines for improving the system.

Abstract:

To increase the proportion of elementary minority students identified as gifted, the System of Multicultural Pluralistic Assessment (SOMPA) was employed with minority disadvantaged children in a large urban school district. A group of African-American students in second through fifth grades became eligible for gifted programming when their IQ scores were adjusted using SOMPA procedures. The performance of these SOMPA students on the Ross Test of Higher Cognitive Processes and other measures did not differ from that of a group of African-American gifted students who were identified on the basis of traditional criteria. There were also no significant differences between the groups in Ross subtest scores seven months later. The SOMPA procedures used to identify these gifted students may provide an alternative method to increase the proportion of minority students in gifted programs; particularly in states that use IQ cut-off scores for placement decisions.

Abstract:

Introduction. The article examines the potential of school-university partnership programmes for gifted and talented children. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanisms for identifying and supporting gifted children by means school-university networks. Materials and Methods. To achieve this goal, the authors have reviewed a considerable amount of literature on giftedness, identification and support of gifted children with a focus on establishing school-university networks. A sample of leadership and teaching staff (n = 149) representing 44 municipalities of the Krasnodar Krai (Russian Federation) was surveyed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of identification, support and guidance of gifted students. The analysis of university websites was carried out in order to reveal the existing practices of partnerships with secondary and supplementary education settings aimed at identification and support of gifted children. To solve the revealed problems of gifted education, a model of school-university network encompassing the flagship university and secondary and supplementary education settings has been developed. Results. The study has revealed the following problems of provision for gifted and talented students: unrecognized special giftedness; underestimation of career guidance for gifted students; insufficient attention to social and emotional issues in the development of gifted children; lack of continuity in provision for gifted and talented individuals at different levels of education. The authors propose a model of the network between the flagship university and secondary education settings aimed at solving the above mentioned problems. The research findings include procedures of identifying and supporting gifted children by means of school-university partnership programmes for 9 domains of giftedness (academic (intellectual), technical, entrepreneurial, communicative, leadership, emotional, sports, artistic and vocational) in corresponding types of career-oriented activities (educational, research, scientific; technical design, business design, business communication, management, volunteering, sports, artistic creativity, production) using the facilities and human resources of the flagship university. Conclusions. The conclusion can be drawn that identification and support of gifted children and adolescents must be carried out in close connection with career guidance, taking into account the needs of the regional labor market. Building partnerships of the university, comprehensive secondary schools and supplementary education settings contribute to solving this problem.

Abstract:

This article summarises basic elementary concerns with regard to gifted education. Identification and special educational provision for the gifted ate two sides of the same coin. One needs to identify a special child so that the child's special needs are taken care of. Without nurturance identification becomes meaningless. Identification also depends on the special purposes for which individuals are being identified. The problems which are associated with the identification of the gifted have their roots in the following areas: Definition of gifted or whom should we call gifted, In which areas we are identifying the gifted, Identification tools and their reliability and validity Target group, and The system followed for analysis of data for identification. I shall discuss each of these issues which, I feel, should be concern for all of us who are directly involved with gifted children and their education.

Abstract:

Early identification of gifted children, including those twice-exceptional, allows schools and parents to support these children’s needs, but little is known about this early identification process and the role parents and teachers play. Parents of gifted children completed a survey which looked at what age their child was tested and identified, whether or not the parent suspected that the child was gifted, who referred the child for testing, and whether or not their child was twice-exceptional. Schools tested, identified, and started services for gifted children in the early elementary grades, usually between 5 and 6 years of age. Most parents identified giftedness in their children by age 2. Parents were also the most frequent person to refer their child for testing, although teachers also placed a strong role. Twice-exceptional children did not differ significantly from gifted children on any of these measures. Implication for further study are included.

Abstract:

Both Aboriginal students and gifted students have been identified as educationally disadvantaged groups with needs that are often not adequately met by the Australian educational system. Hence, gifted Aboriginal students are particularly vulnerable to underachievement. As all students should receive the opportunity to fulfill their potential, there is a need to establish how to support the achievements of gifted Aboriginal children from an early age. The identification and achievement of gifted Aboriginal children is affected by culture conflict, the lack of knowledge of culturally sensitive identification measures of giftedness, and the anti-intellectual Australian ethos. This paper discusses the case studies of two young gifted Aboriginal girls and describes the support they will require for continued success. Ten practical suggestions are presented to assist teachers to nurture and promote the achievements of young gifted Aboriginal children.

Abstract:

One of the key issues in the field of gifted education is the identification of children with high abilities, as identification is the first step in giving these students the opportunities they need to develop their potential. The Aurora Battery, based on Sternberg’s Theory of Successful Intelligence, is an assessment designed to identify children with high ability in areas that are typically ignored with the instruments that are currently used in gifted identification. In this study we examine Aurora’s convergent and divergent validity using the TerraNova, a conventional assessment of academic achievement. We then explore the overlap of these assessments with regard to whom they identify as gifted. Results suggest Aurora’s sound psychometric properties and ability to discriminate a more encompassing form of giftedness. We finally discuss the premise and implications of the Aurora Battery for gifted identification and education.

Abstract:

Aboriginal children are chronically under-represented in programs for gifted and talented children. Among the reasons suggested is an absence of an understanding of the concept of giftedness from an Aboriginal cultural perspective. It is proposed in this paper that such an understanding is necessary to provide a basis for the development of identification processes and programs appropriate for gifted Aboriginal children. The study reported in this paper demonstrated that the concept of giftedness is compatible with Aboriginal culture and that giftedness and talented performance are believed to be a consequence of individual ability, commitment, and fortuitous environmental factors. Research information is also reported which indicates domains and fields in which gifts and talents are most valued within Aboriginal culture. It is concluded that identification and provision constructs should be developed within cultural specific parameters.

Abstract:

Recently research was conducted in Queensland, Australia which was designed to describe a more effective approach for the identification of gifted students. The purpose of the research was to contribute to the improvement of current procedures used in the identification of gifted minority children, particularly urban Aboriginal gifted children. The five year study of Dr. Mary M. Frasier at the University of Georgia served as a basic design model for the research. This paper reports the findings from the two data collection activities of the research project. Firstly interviews of urban Aboriginal community members, including parents of gifted Aboriginal children, were undertaken followed by a state wide survey of Aboriginal teachers in Queensland. The aim of both was to gain information concerning how giftedness was perceived and described by urban Aboriginal community members. This information was then utilised to establish the viability of Frasier's work in the identification of Australian gifted Aboriginal students and to suggest modification to Frasier's model which would heighten its cultural relevance to the Aboriginal society

Abstract:

The 21st century is identified in the country’s strategic documents as a century of rapid technological, climatic and economic change, and countries must not be afraid of innovation and knowledge of the world through information technology. According to strategic documents, the education of gifted children is also one of the country’s priorities. Gifted pre-school children need to develop and continuously improve their abilities, and the stimulation of these abilities can be enhanced by information and communication technologies. The article analyses the educational possibilities for gifted pre-school children using information communication technology, the characteristics of gifted pre-schoolers, and the possibilities for the identification of gifted pre-schoolers. The study suggests that gifted pre-school children are educated in an individualised way according to their needs, they are identified by their abilities which stand out from their peers, information communication technologies are used to diversify the education of gifted pre-school children, and that the biggest problem educators face while developing gifted children is the lack of information and the lack of communication tools.

Abstract:

We analyzed data from a large-scale ( N = 39,213), longitudinal study of urban students to assess child factors (gender, ethnicity, English language learner status, school readiness skills, type of pre-K attended, early elementary school academic performance) prospectively associated with eventual gifted identification in elementary school. Overall, 14.2% of students were identified as gifted in K-5th grade, with the majority identified by second grade. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that White and Latino students were more likely to be identified as gifted than Black students, even controlling for poverty and early academic performance. English language learners, boys, and those who attended public school pre-K programs were more likely to be identified controlling for other factors. School readiness assessments were also useful for predicting giftedness.

Abstract:

What do Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Leonardo DaVinci, Walt Disney, Whoopi Goldberg, Lindsay Wagner, and Robin Williams have in common? All are reported to have learning disabilities. For many people the terms learning disabled and gifted are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Children who experience both exceptionalities are often overlooked and under-served in the classroom. Although researchers have acknowledged the gifted/learning-disabled population and have developed procedures for identification, the majority of school districts do not have procedures in place for screening, identifying, and serving these children (Dix & Schafer, 1996). In addition, information on this population has not been transported into the classroom so parents are not aware of the possibility of dual exceptionalities in these areas. These obstacles make it difficult for the gifted/learning-disabled child to be identified and an appropriate program developed. Parents and educators must work together as advocates for those children with gifts/learning disabilities to address this unique learning situation.

Abstract:

India is a pluralistic, multicultural, and multilingual society. Cultural differences within India make it impossible to adopt a common approach to the identification of potentially gifted children. We need a program that is locally driven and culturally appropriate to be able to make a real difference in the future life of young potentially able children, so that our neglected best can become culturally excellent achievers. The Ministry of Human Resource Development has taken the wake-up call to bring all marginalized children into an educational ‘safety net’. Preparing a suitable model for ‘identification’ and ‘nurturance’ of potentially gifted children across diverse sociocultural profiles of society is also an area of concern for today’s government.

Abstract:

The author suggests that the practical problems of gifted children are frequently connected with their tendency to untimely address socialization issues. Socialization is increasingly connected with the processes of self-development, self-realization, self-assertion and self-determination of a child, as well as with the spheres of identity and social relationships. An empirical study of gifted adolescents’ personal identity is presented in the article. The study was conducted in the Multidisciplinary School of Kostroma State University as part of a pilot program for personal development support of gifted schoolchildren. The results include the definition of self-identification characteristics of gifted adolescents, including their identification with the group and the community. The psychological and pedagogical correction methods are proposed to support the process of self-identification in gifted adolescents.

Abstract:

The issue examined in this systematic review was the current status of research on the use of ICT techniques in the education of gifted children. After defining gifted children, the need for separate consideration of educating them and the appropriate method of educating them led to considering ICT as a promising method to teach them. The review found that some recent research has reported models of appropriate education using ICT. However, mere models are not going to achieve anything. Facilitation of ICT at the school level and training of teachers to teach gifted children using ICT is also important. As with any other case, factors and challenges determine the success of ICT use in educating gifted children. Early identification of gifted children, self-regulation and self-efficacy of gifted children to focus on the relevant topics, individualised programmes and lastly, the impact of the current Covid-19 pandemic have been discussed by the other papers that were reviewed. Overall, it can be deduced that ICT is indeed a useful avenue to teach gifted students, but it needs to be used in conjunction with other educational interventions/programs to ensure its effectiveness. These findings have practical implications for improving the education of gifted students.

Abstract:

Identification and provision in the county of Surrey is surveyed. The identification procedure considers pupils in the top 1% of the ability range as indicated by the Wechsler Scale of Intelligence. These children are carefully monitored by a senior member of staff in each school, who also undertakes to liaise with the rest of the staff in providing a suitable individualised learning programme for each child. The county has a well-developed bank of resources and personnel.

Abstract:

The identification of gifted children is an interactive procedure consisting of two consecutive steps – screening for above-average cognitive abilities, followed by their monitoring. Teacher nomination is among the most widely used methods of screening. However, it is not free from bias. The analysis of screening criteria is of prime importance for gifted education. The aim of our study was to assess the criterion-related validity of the checklist for outstanding cognitive characteristics suggested by Clark (2008). Eighty-three teachers screened for giftedness 1230 children in 6- to 9-grades. Twenty-one of them nominated as gifted by the concordant opinion of three teachers were confirmed to be gifted by the scores of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – IIILT (≥ 2 standard deviations above average intelligence). Results confirm the predictive power of the checklist. Mostly non-significant correlations with achievement outcomes indicate these children to be “underachievers”. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the two factors (verbal and non-verbal) underlying the cognitive performance of gifted children.

Abstract:

The context in which gifted education operates in Australia provides for differing levels of identification and services. Lacking a federal mandate or funding, states and territories are responsible for addressing the needs of gifted students. Australia contributes to the gifted education research literature, focusing on acceleration, gifted girls, and teacher attitudes. The impacts of a relatively new national curriculum and assessment program have yet to be assessed in terms of their impact on gifted children. This article includes an overview of the policies, models, and barriers facing gifted education in Australia.

Abstract:

Almost without exception, experts in the field of education of the intellectually gifted agree that early identification of such talented students is important. There is a good deal of evidence to show that many gifted students who are not identified and whose needs are not met adequately at an early age become frustrated and disillusioned with school, falling into a pattern of low achievement and/or behavioral problems.1,2 At the very least, we know that if educational intervention does not take place at an early age, the child is missing out on valuable years of exciting learning. Interest in learning may diminish and important study skills may not develop because the child is never challenged to think and work hard.

Abstract:

Abstract Scholars, psychologists, and teachers from around the world have been dealing with the topic of giftedness for many years. Also in Slovakia, development of giftedness is a highly topical issue and gifted education has earned its place in the current curricular documents issued by the Ministry of Education. The national curriculum specifies education objectives, teaching plans, requirements for personnel, organizational and material-technological requirements for gifted education. However, the personnel requirements are problematic not only in Slovakia, but also in other countries. Most attention is paid to identification and development of gifted children, but very little consideration is given to the training of teachers for gifted children. The lack of justifying teacher training does not guarantee sustainability of gifted education. The aim of this paper is to map and describe gifted education, teacher training programs and qualifications for teachers of intellectually gifted pupils in Slovakia, Austria, Belgium and Finland. These countries were chosen because of very different perceptions of the gifted education and teacher training. These systems are compared and a proposal for sustainable teacher training is offered.

Abstract:

Based on SDG4, which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, and based on the fact that education is the core of Palestinian values, the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education launched an inclusive education policy in order to integrate all students into the educational system, regardless of their talents, abilities and disabilities. Therefore, the Palestinian Government seeks to develop educational practices to adapt to the needs of all students, including gifted children. Consequently, the identification of gifted pre-school children in Palestine aims to better include them in the general education curriculum. The current study aims to investigate the characteristics of gifted children through the perceptions of the pre-school teachers in Palestine. A mixed-methods approach was adopted. The quantitative data were collected by the “Scale for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Gifted and Talented Students”. The pre-school teachers in the sample were randomly selected, consisting of 450 female pre-school teachers. The qualitative data were collected by semi-structured interview, which 15 female pre-school teachers took part in. There was a significant difference in teachers’ perceptions according to their academic qualifications, and according to whether gifted children need a particular curriculum or not, but there was no significant difference in teachers’ perceptions according to their experiences. The final result shows that there were many positive perceptions regarding the characteristics of gifted children through qualitative data. Therefore, there was consistency between the qualitative and quantitative data of the study. This study emphasizes the significance of continuing to highlight the characteristics of gifted children and conducting more research to reveal them.

In this article, we review research on poverty, both poverty rates and the effects of poverty on academic achievement more generally and on the identification and services for low-income gifted children specifically. This review sets the stage for further discussion of the research findings on identification practices including the efficacy of various approaches to increase the identification of gifted students in poverty. We then review research on the effectiveness of programs designed specifically to identify students with potential and support them through talent development services. Finally, we conclude the literature review with recommendations for future research.

Abstract:

Julian Whybra first suggests three broad categories of exceptional children: those gifted across a wide range of skills and subjects; those who excel in a specific subject area; and those who have gifts that lie outside the normal school curriculum. He discusses the needs of exceptional pupils under two broad headings of recognition and understanding of emotional, social and intellectual needs. The author outlines several approaches to identification and provision for exceptionally able pupils in Essex, U.K. He suggests a multi-dimensional approach to procedures for identification with an emphasis on inclusion rather than exclusion of pupils. He suggests an equally global approach to provision, advocating a whole-school approach with a number of well-argued and practical procedures for implementation. The article includes a “mind-map” which could be usefully adopted by any school wishing to analyse and evaluate its provision for very able learners. A list of resource centres is also provided.

Abstract:

The Croatian legal framework determines the possibilities of education for gifted children and pupils. According to the articles and regulations of the law and other national documents15, schools are obliged to necessarily organize identification processes of gifted children and to enable their schooling according to adequate models and differential curricula. Gifted children are often exposed to too high or too low expectations of their surroundings creating the feeling of helplessness, particularly if their peers isolated them due to their dissimilarity (interest, behavior, vocabulary they use and similar). The role of the teacher is, therefore, of crucial importance for he/she must firstly know how to recognize and identify gifted pupils. Their specific education needs are to be respected and encouraged, as well as the advantages and the teacher should try to alleviate the disadvantages that their giftedness creates in their environment. The application of a differential curriculum is indispensable. But first and foremost is the question how are our legal acts and bylaws in line with the needs of contemporary schools and how much are higher schools’ curricula directed towards the training of future teachers in their work with gifted pupils. The present work analyzes the articles of valid regulations in the Republic of Croatia which determine the upbringing and education of gifted pupils.

Abstract:

This article presents and analyzes policies in identification and provisions in England with respect to gifted education. England has developed a national policy to provide services to identified students. Surveys and interviews with teachers illustrate how implementation of both identification and provision policy elements were handled. Although policy evaluation was conducted by an external ministry agency, it appears to have had little impact on practice. The article suggests that policy implementation, if left to local schools in the absence of monitoring controls, results in lack of services to gifted children in local school environments.

Abstract:

The specific focus of this study was on parent and teacher relationships, when a child is gifted. The study addressed two interrelated questions. (1) What is the parent's perspective of the relationship between parent and teacher when a child is gifted? (2) What is the teacher's perspective of the relationship between parent and teacher when a child is gifted? Five parents and four teachers were interviewed individually on several occasions, and the interview content was analyzed thematically. For parents, five themes were identified, related to instructional programming, teacher competencies, curriculum needs, parental involvement in their children 's education, and problematic behavior. For teachers, there were also five themes, including identification of giftedness, funding issues, communication issues, partnerships in education, and impact on the children. The parent and teacher themes are reported in greater detail elsewhere (Penney & Wilgosh, 1998). This paper addresses the four overlapping themes derived from a comparison of the parent and teacher themes: funding issues, meeting the children's needs, communication, and impact on the children. Implications for fostering parent and teacher partnerships are discussed.

Abstract:

The present study evaluated the criterion validity of a curriculum-based assessment (CBA) used in the identification of gifted children. Scores on the CBA were compared to scores on standardized test measures (Metropolitan Readiness Test and the Metropolitan Achievement Test) to determine which procedure better identified gifted students. Predictive validity of the two procedures were comparable; however, the practical advantages of the CBA are important considerations for students, teachers, and administrators in rural school districts where funds and trained personnel may be limited.
