This review is from: Managing the Social and Emotional Needs of the Gifted: A Teacher's Survival Guide (Paperback)

This book is intended for a teacher new to a gifted program. The book discusses gifted characteristics and the particular emotional needs of the gifted in terms of managing a whole classroom of gifted kids. The discussions on the variety of learning styles and ideas for steering the gifted child to solve their own problems are helpful. However, there are no ideas for motivating/helping the gifted child who has mentally dropped out. The book would not be helpful for the teacher with only one gifted child in the classroom. A better resource would be " The Survival Guide for Parent's of Gifted Children".
