Peer-Reviewed Publications

A substantial portion of ATDP's research has appeared in peer-reviewed academic journals. The articles that cover a wide variety of topics, but they have been organized here into three categories:

  • Student Characteristics
  • Program Evaluation and Program Practices
  • Educational Measurement

These categories are not mutually exclusive by any means, but they represent the basic sorts of questions that the studies attempt to answer. Articles on racial and ethnic diversity (or lack thereof) among academically talented youngsters, for instance, may be found in more than one category because of how the researcher(s) approached the topic. Within each category, articles are ordered from the most recent to the earliest.

Other Publications

Although certainly not as numerous as ATDP's peer-reviewed output, a handful of articles by have appeared in other publications. Where our journal publications were aimed at an academic audience, these tend to be far more accessible. Several discuss some of the particular philosophies that ATDP tries to embody—as well as its policies—from a more personal standpoint.

Conference Presentations

ATDP researchers and their colleagues have reported their findings at conferences across the country and internationally. In this section is a list of the topics that they have presented, most of which explore the characteristics of academically talented students. Like the peer-reviewed articles, the most recent entries appear first.

Further Reading

In addition to its own contributions to scholarship surrounding the development of academic talent, ATDP also draws upon a wide body of literature. Featured are some particularly influential works, as well as a few that echo the ideas that form part of ATDP's core values.
