Gifted and Talented

Just took the Texes test for GT certification and I was a little surprised by the amount of questions on recent research and Texas state guidelines from the 2000 statute. There is no real text for GT study, just an outdated handbook and recent articles from professional journals in GT education and research with which to try to scour an understanding of what GT education is today. Thank goodness Winebrenner's "orange bible" gives practical ideas for application and differentiation. Education is just so subjective, personal...there are no real working definitions or just one formula that works. Much to my dismay, there is no consistent definition for school culture either.
