Extractions: The liaisons are available to provide assistance and support to any group involved in the education of gifted students. Assistance may include: helping schools and school districts to become involved in the Midwest Talent Search or the Midwest Talent Search for Young Students ; assisting already participating schools to design educational and support programs for talent search students; and working with parent groups, other educational and state organizations, and institutions of higher education who are involved in gifted education. Michigan Liaison: Carol R. McCarthy Carol R. McCarthy is the Executive Director and founder of Academically Talented Youth Programs (ATYP) and Accelerated Pre-College Programs at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. These programs provide high school and early college accelerated curriculum to Michigan's MTS students as a part of their school day. Carol has a long history of involvement with gifted education in Michigan, serving as a local school board trustee, a member of state education, gifted advocacy, and legislative committees, and as a parent. Because of Carol's long experience with the Talent Search process - both as a parent and administrator, she views MTS/MTSY as a research-based educational catalyst; objective, above-grade level assessment helps schools recognize the depth of students' potential and helps parents become informed advocates. In her view, objective student assessment combined with parent advocacy can make the goal possible. Tlent Search students will be matched with the curriculum they are ready to learn.
