The focus of this issue of "Systems Newsletter" is serving highly/exceptionally/profoundly gifted learners, those students who score 3+ standard deviations above the mean on the Stanford Binet 5th edition. In an interview with Dr. Silverman, she clearly outlines steps schools should take to ensure services for these students. She also provides a reference list for parents and educators. Additionally in the newsletter, the new Executive Director, Dr. Tracy Cross, introduces himself and briefly states some of his future goals for the Center. This issue contains the following articles: (1) Serving the Needs of Highly and Profoundly Gifted Children: An Interview with Linda Silverman (Suzanna E. Henshon); (2) From the Editor; (3) Executive Director's Remarks; (4) Dissertation Abstracts; (5) Professional Development In Science: Project Clarion; and (6) Suggested Resources for Supporting the Highly Gifted Student.
