What is NOT true about the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act?

The statement indicating that the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act funds the National Association for Gifted Children is not true because the Javits Act primarily provides funding for specific programs and research related to gifted education but does not directly allocate funds to the Association. The focus of the Javits Act is on research and development that enhances the educational opportunities for gifted and talented students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. This includes support for state and local education agencies in improving their identification processes and educational practices for these students.

The correct emphasis of the Javits Act lies in its commitment to fostering greater access to gifted programs for diverse populations and in enhancing research that informs best practices in gifted education, rather than funding organizations like the National Association for Gifted Children directly.
