Winner of NAGC's 2021 Book of the Year Award This must-have The book also includes considerations for working with special populations, including twice-exceptional students, underachievers, and culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse learners, as well as meeting students' social-emotional needs, collaborating with families and communities, and advocating for gifted education.
As a gifted ed teacher for fourteen years, this is by far the best, most practical guide I've read for providing support for gifted ed students throughout their day. I learned so much not only about practical tips for collaboration with general ed teachers but also strategies for vertical differentiation and deeper inquiry. I wish I'd had this resource when I was starting out! I've highlighted and dog-eared many fabulous ideas on how to improve collaboration with other teachers and strategies to improve support for gifted students outside my classroom. The book provides great resources and tables I plan to use again and again. This school year has shown us the importance of teamwork towards meeting the needs of our students. This book provides a roadmap to maximize benefits of planning time to help take gifted students to new heights. I highly recommend this for new or veteran gifted education teachers and administrators who want to improve gifted ed services in their school.
