Summary: One for me, one for the teacher
Comment: I've found that having my own copy of this book is invaluable, as it helps me understand where the teacher might be coming from and discuss with her what options might work well for my (highly gifted) children. I gave a copy to my son's teacher--and she uses it so much she can't share it with the other teachers. I suggested the school librarian purchase a copy, and it's in high demand--it keeps disappearing. Many teachers are more than willing to find ways to accomodate the special needs of gifted children, and are actually looking for guidance on how to best differentiate their curriculum. This book gives them many different tools, and guidance on how to use them.

Summary: Bring out the full potential of each student
Comment: 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.)

Summary: Excellent resource for parents and teachers.
Comment: 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!
