Duke
University, Talent Identification Program (TIP)
The Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP)
identifies gifted children and provides resources to nurture
the development of these exceptionally bright youngsters. Giftedness
is greatly misunderstood, and children with advanced intellectual
and academic abilities continually perplex and challenge educators
and parents.
Duke
TIP is committed to serving this unique group of students by
providing services and programs beyond what is offered in the
classroom. Often schools do not have the resources and staff
to adequately provide for the academic challenges and social
and emotional support that gifted children require. Through
Duke TIP a whole range of activities and programs are accessible
to parents and teachers to meet the individual needs of gifted
children. For a variety of reasons, many gifted children simply
do not reach their full potential. Exceptionally bright students
often go unrecognized because they hide their talents, underachieve,
or exhibit behavioral problems. In addition, a disproportionately
large number of minority group students, youngsters from families
where English is not the primary spoken language in the home,
and children from less affluent families are at risk for not
being identified as gifted.
Duke
TIP provides students with the opportunity to learn more about
their abilities. In fourth and fifth grade, qualifying students
may participate in Duke TIP's 4th/5th Grade Talent Search (formerly
MAP) program and may take advantage of its optional above-level
testing. Through Duke TIP's 7th Grade Talent Search program,
which focuses on the identification, recognition, and support
of high-ability seventh graders, students take college entrance
exams alongside high school students. A large number of 7th
grade Talent Search participants earn scores that many high
school seniors would envy.
TIP
is pleased to announce several exciting summer opportunities
for gifted students providing challenging experiences. These
programs include: PreCollege Program at Duke, Global Dialogues
Institute at Wake Forest University, Leadership Institute at
Duke, Domestic and International Field Studies (grades 9-12:
Radio Astronomy, Mountain Lake. Grades 10-12: Ghost Ranch, Filmmaking,
Costa Rica, France, Italy, Greece.) Many things are offered
within each program.
