Two of the guiding principles of gifted program standards are that gifted learners must be provided differentiated guidance efforts and affective curriculum (Nevitt, 2001), yet many gifted and talented students are receiving inadequate social, emotional, and career counseling. There are many reasons for this, including a shortage of personnel trained in working with gifted students, emphasis on academic achievement and tests scores, and the belief that gifted students can manage on their own. In many schools, guidance or counseling of students is the sole domain of professional counselors; however, most school counselors do not have training in gifted education and because they are burdened with large caseloads, administrative duties (i.e., scheduling), and crisis counseling, they often must function in a triage mode, attending to only the most serious problems with little time left for anything else.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.
