Feature

A broad overview of research-based classroom approaches to gifted education helps teachers understand what's available for gifted students and how to plan a program. Discussion of underachievement, cultural and economic disadvantage, female underachievement, learning and emotional disabilities (dual exceptionalities), over-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of disorders is located in Chapters 12 through 15. Pre-service teachers will be sensitised to the psychological and cultural issues that cause some children's gifted performance to become invisible in their schools. Readers also learn practical strategies for engaging these children in achievement. Case studies of underachieving gifted students give readers a deeper insight into these issues. Provides ready-to-use, easy-to-adapt sample forms for identifying giftedness used in schools. The text also provides an overview of the variety of tests commonly used to identify gifted students and their strengths and weaknesses. Creativity and teaching thinking skills-two concepts central to gifted education-are found in Chapters 8, 9, and 10. This coverage helps pre-service teachers understand creative students, creative processes, and how to foster high-levels of creative thinking. The text's inclusion of strategies and lesson plans that can be adapted to the classroom at all grade levels further enriches the value of this text for practitioners. Considerations of parenting, social-emotional needs and counseling are introduced, alerting readers to the affective needs of gifted students. Counseling strategies as well as parenting needs are covered so that pre-service teachers may learn how to reach out and communicate with the families of gifted children they will teach. These concepts are presented in Chapters 11, 16, and 17.
