Book Description

159363210X 978-1593632106 October 15, 2006
Best Practices in Gifted Education provides concise, up-to-date, research-based advice to educators, administrators, and parents of gifted and talented youth. The 29 practices included in this volume are the result of an extensive examination of educational research on what works with talented youth. The interest in culturally diverse and low-income learners, the means to identify talents, and the need for curriculum that appropriately challenges high-ability youth constitute just a few of the 29 practices. Each practice is organized into a chapter containing two sections: What We Know and What We Can Do. The first section briefly describes the practice and summarizes the research. The second section suggests what course of action a parent, teacher, or administrator might take at home, in the classroom, or at school. The book is a must-have for those who want a guide that makes a connection between research and practical action in gifted education.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Have you, as a parent or teacher of gifted children, wondered what you can do to encourage the academic and emotional growth of these children? If so, this is the book for you...The chapters of the book are based upon a wide range of issues surrounding gifted education, covering preschool to entrance into college. The chapters explore the issues from different points of view, using a thorough literature review. The authors then summarize each topic, drawing conclusions as to best practices. The chapters conclude with suggestions as to what can be done to support the gifted child at home, in the classroom, and in school-based settings.

--Victoria Brown, Childhood Education - April 1, 2008

Amazon.com Review

Based on an extensive examination of research, Best Practices in Gifted Education provides the framework for effective planning and instruction in teaching gifted children. Included in the timely and important topics addressed in this text are parent involvement, twice-exceptional students, gender differences, school programs, inquiry-based learning and teaching, acceleration, and culturally diverse student populations. By closely examining the contents of this book, all stakeholders will be prepared to make well-informed decisions in planning for educational opportunities offered to gifted children.

--Gifted Child Today, Vol. 30, No. 1, Winter 2007

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential resource for classroom teachers, August 27, 2007
This review is from: Best Practices in Gifted Education: An Evidence-Based Guide (Paperback)
I have worked as a teacher in both "gifted" and "regular" classrooms and have also served as district coordinator for gifted programs. Having an empirical base that helps one understand what works for varieties of gifted students and why is invaluable. This book provides a solid foundation based on best-practice research and offers clear, concise suggestions for designing and implementing programs that take into account all aspects of giftedness, including different areas of academic and creative abilities, disabilities, guidance and counseling needs, etc. Dr. Robinson and her colleagues also offer a variety of options that enable parents and schools to collaborate in order to offer the best possible programs with the resources available to them. This manual is a must-have for any educator hoping to offer quality, defensible guidance and instruction to gifted youngsters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best Practices Not So Much, August 16, 2007
This review is from: Best Practices in Gifted Education: An Evidence-Based Guide (Paperback)
This book is intended to give the best practices in gifted education. It is very vague about the practices. Much theory but not a lot of actual advice. It may be good for a beginner or parent who wants to know the general options of gifted education.
