“…In this vein, the benefits of university-based and other outof-school programs are now recognized in the talent development literature. 19,20 Tacit knowledge A search of the term tacit knowledge yielded the largest number of studies. For example, sharing of tacit knowledge is important in transforming organizations and fostering innovation capacity, and as a source of competitive advantage.…”

Insider knowledge is critical information about how to achieve success that is not available to the general public but is relatively well‐known to individuals within the domain and to those who have access to those individuals. The goal of this study was to examine the perceived role of insider knowledge in a sample of highly accomplished American professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We asked participants explicitly if insider knowledge had played a role in their talent development trajectory from K–12 education to their current creative work, with questions related to experiences at the undergraduate and graduate level and during their careers. The study was exploratory, so no formal hypotheses were put forward. Given the lack of research on the topic of insider knowledge as defined in this paper, we conducted semi‐structured interviews with a select group of individuals who had successful careers in STEM fields, both to see if insider knowledge was something that they considered important and to see if they felt that insider knowledge had played a role in their educational and career trajectories. Our hope is that the results of this paper will inform future in‐depth studies on the topic of insider knowledge.

“…Advanced courses in secondary school enable students to qualify for admission to selective institutions of higher education that often can provide more financial aid for low-income students (Giancola and Kahlenberg, 2016). And special summer programs, particularly on college campuses, can provide a preview of higher education – particularly important for students who will be the first in their family to attend college as well as connect students with mentors who can provide insider knowledge about educational and career paths within different domains and provide opportunities for authentic domain-related work (Olszewski-Kubilius et al , 2015a).…”

“…Strategies to Serve Rural Students . Olszewski-Kubilius et al (2015a) outlined several strategies to provide rural students with more opportunities including building connections with nearby schools to share resources, create advanced classes and enrichment opportunities for students; creating regional networks for extra-curricular, weekend, summer and hybrid learning programs; taking advantage of online programs to provide advanced coursework as well as dual enrollment programs that enable students to access college classes early; collaborating with local colleges and universities to create dual enrollment programs or find instructors who have the content expertise for advanced courses; actively recruiting mentors from the surrounding communities to talk to students about educational and career paths and expose students to authentic work in their fields; and making use of technology to provide advanced courses and access to and interaction with domain professionals and mentors. Additionally, and probably most importantly, helping educators and other professionals address and deal empathically with family concerns and fears that gifted services may result in their student leaving their home and the ties to their community (Stambaugh and Wood, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to inform readers about the nature of talent development prior to post-secondary education; describe the obstacles that individuals face because of poverty, racism or geography; and recommend asset-based approaches that can enable more individuals to be prepared to make significant contributions to society within their domain of talent. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used was to review research from the fields of education and psychology about talent in varied domains of sport, academics and the arts, as it relates to key components (domain pathways, opportunities and psychosocial skills) of the talent development megamodel proposed by Subotnik et al. (2011). Findings Findings include a delineation of the challenges that many nations face in cultivating talent among its young citizens particularly related to their socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity and geography. Findings include recommendations for new approaches to identification; a substantial increase in school and community-based, domain-specific opportunities; teacher training; and deliberate cultivation of psychosocial skills that can support achievement. Originality/value This paper emphasizes the importance of focusing efforts on talent development at earlier stages, which is critical to creating pathways for marginalized youths to maximize their potential and contributions to the workplace.

“…STEM career interest at the university level is associated with participation in STEM-focused contests and clubs inside and outside of school, as well as reading of STEM nonfiction and science fiction literature (Dabney et al, 2012). Opportunity in the form of school or outside of school programs and even informal, independent pursuit of interests at home are important in both cultivating interest in an academic domain and identifying talent and interest (Olszewski-Kubilius, 2015;Olszewski-Kubilius, Calvert, & Corwith, 2015).…”

The chapters in this section present research on the development of talent in two important academic domains: mathematics and psychology. Each chapter is accompanied by an interview with a prominent scholar that reinforces some important themes that characterize the discipline. This concluding chapter begins with a brief review of research on key aspects of the talent development mega model (Subotnik, Olszewski-Kubilius, & Worrell, 2011) with respect to academic domains of talent. This review is followed by a discussion of the similarities and differences in the talent development process across the two domains of mathematics and psychology, and the chapter ends with suggestions for areas for future research.
