Book Description

January 15, 2001
Book with CD-Rom

With 150,000 copies in print, the original Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom is a perennial best-seller. Teachers everywhere call it “the orange bible” and turn to it daily to make sure their gifted students are getting the learning opportunities they need and deserve. Since the first edition was published, author Susan Winebrenner has spent eight years using it with school districts, teachers, parents, and kids across the U.S. and the U.K. This revised, expanded, updated edition reflects her personal experiences and the changes that have taken place in education over the years. Her basic philosophy hasn’t changed, and all of the proven, practical, classroom-tested strategies teachers love are still here. But there’s now an entire chapter on identifying gifted students. The step-by-step how-tos for using the strategies are more detailed and user-friendly.

This review is from: Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom: Strategies and Techniques Every Teacher Can Use to Meet the Academic Needs of the Gifted and Talented (Paperback)
I have been using this book since it was first published, and recently purchased the latest edition. Though I've read dozens of books on giftedness, this is the book I give to parents and teachers to introduce them to the subject. I still find Winebrenner's counsel valuable for my own teaching and interaction with gifted students. This book would be excellent for a teaher's workshop or monthly teachers' meetings.

5.0 out of 5 stars practical for classroom use, March 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom: Strategies and Techniques Every Teacher Can Use to Meet the Academic Needs of the Gifted and Talented (Paperback)
I purchased this book to help me review for the EXCET GT exam. I have found this book to be practical and set up so it can be incorporated into the average classroom. The author aslo includes philosophy behind the activities. I recommend this book to any teacher who is looking to improve his/her typical classroom. Be prepared for a bit of work though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for, October 8, 2011

This review is from: Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom: Strategies and Techniques Every Teacher Can Use to Meet the Academic Needs of the Gifted and Talented (Paperback)
I ordered the book because I work with a variety of young adults and I want to keep them all engaged and learning more of on-the-job and job-related information which would help them make better products. Although it appears to repeat the same theme in each section, it tailors each to the type of information that the students are being exposed to (math, english, that sort of thing). While my focus is on information that does not fall within those categories, the techniques that are shown are easily applicable to any training focus and environment. I recommend this book for anyone who teaches bright kids.
