| Popis: | Gifted and talented females are at risk of academic underachievement at the onset of adolescence, especially in the areas of math and science. Internal and external barriers often prohibit gifted girls from demonstrating their true academic potential. If they abandon their math and science pursuits to pursue more socially acceptable activities, they run the risk of limiting their options for career development and personal satisfaction. This article reviews some intervention programs which have been developed to combat this phenomenon of female underachievement and highlights the need for early intervention. |
