Talent Development

Chicago Reporter, The, Feb, 2001

The Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University has teamed up with Evanston/Skokie Community Consolidated School District 65 to help gifted minority second- and third-graders perform their best and to extend their successes through high school. The program, "Project Excite," was created to eliminate the school district's achievement gap between white and minority students, said Marshall Rosenthal, director of communications for the district.

Students enrolled in the program will take challenging, "gatekeeping" courses that will help them into high school honors programs.
