  • Services Available from American Mensa for Students Who Are Gifted and Talented: an Overview for Teachers and Administrators
    Services Available from American Mensa for Students Who are Gifted and Talented: An Overview for Teachers and Administrators Stephen J. Bugaj Lock Haven University, Lockhaven, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Abstract Mensa is an organization of people scoring in the upper two percent on an approved intelligence test. Once considered a group for “geeks”, it has expanded its role to offer considerable resources to parents and teachers of the gifted. However, a review of the literature indicated that this information is not routinely available to non- members. Through an extensive review of the Mensa website, this article provided information on the organization, as well as its educational resources that are available to teachers who enhance the education of gifted students. Additionally, suggestions for their use in acceleration, enrichment, diversifying instruction, curriculum and planning and preparation were included. Introduction Mensa was founded in England in 1946 as a society for “bright people”. Designed to be free of political, racial or religious distinctions, the organization’s initial purposes were for fellowship and participation in social/cultural activities. Perhaps because of this, the general public has developed somewhat of a distorted understanding of Mensa, often viewing it as a club for “geeks” or “nerds” (Whitby, 1999; Lyall, 1996). Since its inception, however, Mensa has changed its purpose and expanded its services. In the United States, for example, it has become a provider of considerable resources to parents and teachers of the gifted and talented (MGT). Regrettably, there is limited information published in professional journals to inform American educators of these resources. To illustrate this point, an ERIC search was conducted in the fall of 2014 using the descriptors “Mensa”, “Mensa Services”, “Mensa Resources”, and “Mensa and Teachers of the Gifted”, and located a total of 27 articles published between 1971 through 2014.
