Gratitude and Learning
When Herold started her post-undergraduate career as a classroom educator, she recalls stating in her job interview that she wanted to make a difference in her students' lives. Today that strikes her as very Pollyannaish, but she was a twenty-two-year-old newly degreed English major with a Behavioral Science concentration who chose to read fairy tales, fantasy, science fiction, and romance as her elective reading. She was energetic and optimistic. She probably still is several decades and a different career later. It's rather ironic that when she was teaching, she took for granted the thanks of appreciative parents and notes and gifts of current and former students. She was immersed in the daily work of lesson planning, grading, and reading the history textbook to keep ahead of her students. It wasn't until she was teaching history that she took a college history course.

Cultural framing of giftedness in recent US fictional texts
A perennial topic of research on giftedness has been individuals’ perceptions of and attitudes towards giftedness, the gifted, and gifted education. Although giftedness is a culturally constructed concept, most examination of the term’s meanings and implications has used reactive measures (i.e., surveys) to tap respondents’ giftedness-related perceptions and attitudes within the context of formal education. To provide a better understanding of the cultural meanings associated with giftedness—the term’s cultural framing—we investigated the depiction of giftedness within a professional cultural product removed from education, namely, a large corpus of US fictional texts. We examined patterns of word usage in the vicinity of the term gift* , when used in the dictionary senses related to giftedness, in a large corpus of US fictional texts of recent decades, consisting of 485,179 text samples and 1,002,889,754 word tokens. Via inductive methods of quantitative text analysis, we explored themes occurring in the vicinity of gift* ; and with an existing lookup dictionary, we assessed deductively the overall emotional valance of the writing near gift* . Our investigation revealed ways in which the literary exploration of giftedness coheres with and distinguishes itself from the outlooks on giftedness noted for survey-based research in education settings. In fictional texts, giftedness evinces special associations with humanities domains and beauty and, on balance, correlates positively with emotionally positive words.
