I a teacher of gifted elementary students and currently working on a graduate degree. I use this book to help with the design and implementation of my own program as well as offer guidelines and background information for other teachers I work with. Too often, there are not enough advocates for gifted learners for whatever reasons and this book allows me to give research to support my positions. This book provides profiles of different types of learners (i.e.female, economically challenged, children with disabilities, etc.)as well as how to deal with such learners. It also provides the reader with positive teaching techniques that can be used in the classroom.
