Re-Forming Gifted Education: How Parents and Teachers Can Match the Program to the Child

Because current programs for gifted students are often inadequate and do not fit the child, parents need to present schools with workable educational plans.

Dr. Rogers explains several models for acceleration and enrichment, as well as various grouping practices. For each educational option, she delineates what current research says about the benefit or lack of benefit to certain types of gifted children.
