Highly recommended

I frequently use “Teaching Gifted Kids in Today’s Classroom” and “The Survival Guide for Gifted Kids.” They are both very helpful for ideas and discussions. I highly recommend them!!

Comprehensive and easily understood!

I recently took a class on teaching gifted students and purchased this book. I have been able to present some ideas to teachers to work with those students that need a ‘little more’ than the general education student as well as the students I work with in an intervention capacity. This book has many useful strategies and printables that can easily be implemented and applied within the classroom.
