Resources for Gifted Students Studying Future

Many parents and teachers would agree that they want children to be prepared to live in the future. However, Roeper (1988) believes that children are not being taught the futures skills they will require. Education should enlarge, enrich, and help us gain more accurate images of the future (Toffler, 1974), so that the children of today can make a more constructive difference in the future (Frasier, Lee, & Winstead, 1997). The Gifted Program Standards of the National Association for Gifted Children (1998) also support this effort. This article will therefore focus on the rationale for studying futures education and resources and methods to support these studies.
