All the resources and examples they provide are perfect for returning teachers, but also new teachers with GT kids.

This book has many tools for us to add to our toolbox as teachers so that when we encounter a student-gifted or not-identified or not-we have strategies and ways to help that student learn and move forward. I already have ideas for how I am planning on sharing these techniques with all teachers at my school.

Often times gifted students are alone in the regular classroom, or there are only two or three gifted students on a grade-level, so finding strategies that will help the gifted student work within the confines of the regular classroom while still moving forward in their own learning is important and relevant to our work with students. The compacting & learning menus are especially useful when the number of GT students in the regular classroom is small. This book is definitely worth having. <br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511650730556812175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023588234955777421.post-86560433872314390912014-08-30T12:16:26.841-07:002014-08-30T12:16:26.841-07:00Recommending this book would depend on the person....Recommending this book would depend on the person. I would definitely recommend it to new teachers or people who are just starting out in the world of gifted differentiation. It is easy to read and provides good examples of what the strategy should look like. With this particular edition the CD makes it very useful. I received the first edition of this book when I took my initial 30 hour GT course about 20 years ago. I have referred to it often.

Teachers need new ideas and new ways of looking at teaching and students. I found the book a little overwhelming at first- so many details- so many ideas but as I reflect on all the things I've read and new things I have learned, I think the book has made me stop and think about gifted students in a different way. This book has presented me with a lot of new ideas and concrete resources that I can try (and modify if needed)with my students. margaret goodwin-grffinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023588234955777421.post-55021350334229006852014-08-23T21:52:03.349-07:002014-08-23T21:52:03.349-07:00Debbie B (August 22).

Small group learning becomes less frequent in higher grades, and teachers need a good model of what to do with the others. This book provides support to help teachers. By having the district help assist teachers at grade levels learn how to do this, it is a win-win for all. skippyjohn joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743211062918059060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023588234955777421.post-46061233452901009142014-08-06T08:17:04.122-07:002014-08-06T08:17:04.122-07:00In response to moneyj, I agree that the book gives...In response to moneyj, I agree that the book gives many useful strategies.
