A differentiated curriculum for gifted science students needs to be organized around basic scientific principles that require more advanced levels of thinking and complex processes. Many of the authors provide units of study and specific lessons that model best practices in teaching science. Science Education for Gifted Studentsbegins with creative ways to engage children in the primary years, thus ensuring that they develop a love of science that will last a lifetime. Subsequent chapters deal with acceleration and enrichment in the sciences, including instructional units on magnetic levitation, integrating science and physical education, and real-world archaeology.

Identifying, Describing, and Developing Teachers Who Are Gifted and Talented

Much of the research about teachers focuses on “those who can’t/don’t/aren’t good” in the classroom. However, teachers who are gifted and talented exist, but there has been little attention to date on the characteristics and practices of such teachers in the classroom. While few, the examples of research on positive teacher attributes include work on the “expert,” “authentic,” and “creative,” as well as examples of research on eminent adults. Identifying, Describing, and Developing Teachers Who Are Gifted and Talented is an essential reference source that discusses behaviors and traits in teachers who are considered gifted and talented as well as case studies on the identification and preparation of teachers who fall into this category. Featuring research on topics such as creative innovation, emotional intelligence, and skill development, this book is ideally designed for educators, administrators, researchers, and academicians.

Education of Gifted Children

"During the last few years the results of tests and measurement in the public schools have brought into relief a great variety of educational problems which had previously been overlooked or the importance of which had been insufficiently appreciated. Among these is the problem of the gifted child. Although experimental studies in the education of defectives have been made from time to time for almost a century, it was not until the results of intelligence tests began to come in, a decade ago, that the need of special educational provision for children of exceptional ability began to be recognized. One reason for the general neglect of this field of pedagogy has been the widespread belief that the apparently gifted child is merely precocious, and usually pathologically so. However, recent experimental studies have shown conclusively that this belief has little or no foundation in fact. All the scientific evidence at hand points to the conclusion that gifted children are superior to unselected children in physical and non-intellectual mental traits as well as in intelligence, and that they carry this advantage into adult life. We are coming to recognize that from their ranks, and from nowhere else, our geniuses in every line are recruited. Instead of working upon the "wonder child" as an individual to be pitied because of his supposed abnormality, and to be shielded from intellectual stimulation for fear of injury to his delicate nervous structure, we are beginning to see the problem in an entirely different light. The education of the gifted child has adopted a positive rather than a negative aim. We wish to know what educational methods will enable us to make the most of the superior raw material afforded by our gifted group; it is no longer a question of how best to defend a special type of pathologically tainted individuals from an imminent and unhappy fate. At the present time there are in progress scores if not hundreds of experiments in the training of gifted children. Unfortunately, few of these have been under way any considerable length of time and fewer still have been adequately reported. We are learning a great deal about the mental and physical traits of such children, but we still know very little as to the most effective methods of training them. The editor believes that Miss Stedman's rather detailed account of the methods she has found most useful in her five years of experience with such children is an important educational contribution. It should be of interest not only to teachers of similar classes, but to educators generally and to parents; for it is by no means improbable that the educational methods best adapted to gifted children will be found to have wide applicability in the training of all children. Normal pedagogy has certainly benefited from the pedagogy of defectives; it has far more to learn from the pedagogy of the gifted"--Introduction.

Among these is the problem of the gifted child.

Your Passport to Gifted Education

This book is a guide to help teachers, parents, guidance counselors and other stakeholders understand the importance of intervention for gifted children and to become an advocate for those individuals who are developmentally advanced. The reader becomes engaged in the analogy of a three part airplane journey to the world of gifted education: ‘Embarking on a Journey;’ ‘Preparing for Departure’ and ‘Planning for Arrival.’ The author offers insightful case studies followed by strategies for both teachers and parents gained from personal experiences and research to identify and work with different types of children who present unique challenges due to their special needs of high potential. By presenting a historical overview in gifted education from a global perspective, Your Passport to Gifted Education provides current internationally-researched information to clarify what is meant by ‘giftedness’ according to various cultures. The book encourages the development of a growth mindset in the reader to seek to identify various characteristics of high ability in all children. Four international high ability identification models are introduced, including one relatively new to North America, the High Performance Learning Framework (HPL), currently used throughout China, Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. Dispelling the myth that gifted children do not need our help, the reader gains insight into the uniquely different types of gifted individuals. The book concludes by awarding the reader with a ‘Landing Card’ to serve as a bookmarker that underpins the best teaching practices in gifted education. A directory list of websites for international gifted organizations is also included to offer additional resources for those who want to continue their journey as advocates and learn how other countries support gifted children around the world.

The Drama of the Gifted Child

The Search for the True Self, Third Edition

The bestselling book on childhood trauma and the enduring effects of repressed anger and pain Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided millions of readers with an answer--and has helped them to apply it to their own lives. Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents' expectations and win their "love." Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb.... Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would not have survived." But merely surviving is not enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.

This bestselling book examines childhood trauma and the enduring effects it has on an individual's management of repressed anger and pain.

Mama... Yes, Anak?

"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." What better words would describe the special children whose lives depend on people's compassion and understanding of their status. Chico, the star of this book is a special child diagnosed to have moderate to advance autism at a time when autism was still almost unheard of.
