The aim of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), according to its website, is to "train teachers, encourage parents and educate administrators and policymakers on how to develop and support gifted children." Their site addresses the recent federal emphasis on STEM, and how it is related to work with gifted children. Visitors will learn in the first paragraph of the section entitled "Gifted Children and STEM", the difficulties that may be faced when encouraging STEM careers among gifted children. The site notes that multiple abilities and a "wide range of interests...make[s] selecting a career difficult" for gifted children. Visitors will see, however, that the NAGC does have suggestions on how to help gifted students excel in the STEM subjects. There are links to research on pull-out programs, public math-science high schools, and teacher training programs designed to recognize giftedness. Also, users should look at the very bottom of the STEM page for a link to a fact sheet on STEM and gifted education. This particular fact sheet notes the lack of progress that has been made in high-potential education, which ultimately increases the dropout rates of gifted students in such programs.
