Author Description

Gifted education based on experience researchThis book provides a concise guide to gifted education professionals, administrators and parents through best practices in gifted education based on the latest research. The gifted education examples presented in the book are the result of extensive educational research that attempted to identify what works for the gifted. Examples include interest in culturally diverse low-income learners, how to identify giftedness, and the need for a curriculum that adequately challenges the gifted. Each case is briefly described in two chapters in a chapter, "What is known?" and summarizes the results of the study. The second part, "What can we do?", Suggests activities that parents, teachers and administrators should take in the home, classroom, or school. It will be helpful to those who want a guide to connect theory and practice in gifted education.
