Career education for gifted and talented students

Dr. Sidney P. Marland, Jr., former Assistant Secretary for Education in the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, has received national and international recognition for the emphasis he has given to career education as an approach to educational reforms for the American education system. Dr. Marland's professional interests, in addition to career education, include a deep and long-standing concern for education of gifted and talented persons. It is thus understandable why in early 1972 Dr. Marland expressed special interest in encouraging activities related to career education for the gifted and talented. This book can be traced directly in its historical background to Dr. Marland's own professional interest in the subject.
