Industry Reviews

"The book's major strength lies in its ability to remind the reader that there are many resources that educators may have forgotten about or not even thought of. The discussions about student interests, human resources, community resources, and open-ended presentation are a great aspect of this book." -- Scott Currier, Mathematics Teacher "This book is pertinent and relevant to today's classroom. Teachers face many demands to meet the needs of struggling students. We sometimes focus so much on the low-achieving students that we run out of time to address the needs of the gifted and above-average students. This book focuses on the issue with examples a teacher can use right now, with little prep. The author absolutely understands the issues teachers face in the classroom today." -- Shelly Docherty, 5th Grade Teacher "This book provides practical suggestions for utilizing and improving your own professional practice to more fully support advanced learners." -- Marcia Carlson, 6th Grade Teacher "This book will assist any educator in their quest to provide their students with high quality instruction, without much hassle." -- David Callaway, 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher "By discussing major areas of education, the authors have provided an excellent resource for helping to overcome various obstacles. The book can help to improve instruction for the gifted in the regular classroom." -- Maurice D. Fisher, Publisher * Gifted Education Press Quarterly, Spring 2012, Vol. 26 *
