High IQ Kids: Collected Insights, Information, and Personal Stories from the Experts

by Kiesa Kay (Editor), Deborah Robson (Editor), Judy Fort Brenneman (Editor)

Profoundly gifted kids often get the least help in school. It’s assumed they’re smart enough to succeed on their own, plus teachers (and parents) feel out of their depth with these unique kids. A blend of personal stories and practical strategies, scholarly articles and entertaining essays from a community of voices—parents, educators, authors, researchers, and other experts—this book addresses the joys and challenges of raising and teaching, living with and understanding exceptionally gifted kids of all ages. Recommended for any adult who wants to know more (and may be desperate to know more) about high-IQ kids and how to support them, advocate for them, and meet their social, emotional, and learning needs. Contributors include Karen Rogers, Ph.D., Carolyn Kottmeyer, Sally Reis, Ph.D., Joyce VanTassel-Baska, Ed.D., Miraca U. M. Gross, Ph.D., and many more.

[Tracey · Rating 2 out of 5]

Great reference, any gifted teacher and classroom teacher would find this book to be a valuable resource (just peruse it before purchasing to make sure you don't have similar info in your personal library already!). Regular classroom teachers would find this beneficial when understanding gifted students. The book explains a lot! Great for New Teachers!
