Inspiring Middle School Minds: Gifted, Creative, and Challenging: Brain- and Research-Based Strategies to Enhance Learning for Gifted Students

by Judy Willis

Middle school education has often been considered a "black hole" for gifted students, seldom providing adequate challenge. Dr. Willis, and neurologist and teacher, uses the findings of brain research to explain the inner workings of the adolescent brain, as well as how parents and teachers can use that knowledge to trigger untapped motivation in children. The information and advice in this very readable book will help parents and teachers design positive and rewarding learning experiences that students will remember long after the lesson has ended.
