Product Description

With 150,000 copies in print, the original TEACHING GIFTED KIDS 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. There's a new chapter especially for parents. And all of the forms in the book are also on CD-ROM (sold separately) so you can print them out and customize them for your classroom.

Since 1992, TEACHING GIFTED KIDS has been the definitive guide to meeting the learning needs of gifted students in the mixed-abilities classroom–without losing control, causing resentment, or spending hours preparing extra materials. This new edition is even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for parents and teachers., May 25, 1999
By A Customer
This book is a classic. It is a very good "how to" book for teachers. It is full of practical information and examples that teachers can use in their classroom. It is an excellent book for parents to use to advocate for gifted education with their teachers and in their school districts. The techniques are very low cost and easy to understand. A must read and must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to guide for modifing curriculum for elementary gifted, June 8, 1997
By A Customer
This book is a "how to" guide for modifying curriculum for gifted elementary and middle school students in the regular classroom. It is full of time saving forms and ideas for classroom teachers. It also describes real scenerios with gifted kids that will help inform the regular teacher of some of the gifted child characteristics.. For example, gifted children are less likely to have high grades and more likely to be a behavior problem than a bright child. This is a good inexpensive resource every teacher should possess. I purchased it as a parent and then shared it with the classroom teacher each year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bring out the full potential of each student, September 13, 2001
By George Zee (www.frzee.org, Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a much revised and expanded version (from 161 pages to 243 pages now), with many more master pages for reproduction. The Table of Contents gives a more detailed listing of topics. References and Resources are more extensive. Chapter 1 gives longer lists of characteristics of the gifted child, and also of the perfectionistic, creative and the twice-exceptional (giftedness coexisting with a learning challenge or a disability, such as ADD/ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome).

Gifted students tend to learn less in the regular class and are often underachievers. This book provides resource materials for a wide range of subjects for helping them to "compact" the curriculum (cut out what is redundant to each) and form flexible groupings so that individual needs can be attended to. It is based on accumulated fruitful applications and it should be a standarad reference for all teachers. (Part of the content could be for American use only.)
