About the Author
Marcia Gentry, professor of educational studies, directs the Gifted Education Resource Institute at Purdue University. She has received multiple grants worth several million dollars in support of her work with programming practices and underrepresented populations in gifted education. Her research interests include student attitudes toward school and the connection of these attitudes toward learning and motivation, the use of cluster grouping and differentiation to meet the needs of students with gifts and talents while helping all students achieve at high levels, the use of non-traditional settings for talent development, and the development and recognition of talent among underserved populations including students with diverse cultural backgrounds including Native American youth and children who live in poverty. She actively participates in the National Association for Gifted Children and in the American Educational Research Association’s Special Interest Group for research on gifted, creativity, and talent; frequently contributes to the gifted education literature; and regularly serves as a speaker and consultant. She has collaborative projects across the country and around the world. Prior to her work in higher education, she spent 12 years as a teacher and administrator in K-12 settings. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, gardening, hanging out in the horse barn, collecting contemporary Navajo weavings, spending time at her a cabin on Lake Superior, and working with her doctoral students.
