NPR's Tell Me More (8/31, Martin) reported an interview with Yvette Jackson, CEO of the nonprofit The National Urban Alliance for Effective Education and the former executive director of instruction and professional development for New York City Board of Education. Jackson "is proposing that school officials offer 'gifted and talented' programs to underachieving students," arguing that "these programs build on students' strengths and give them more power in deciding what they learn." The NPR website includes a full transcript and the original audio of the interview.
