Description: Designing Services and Programs for High-Ability Learners: A Guidebook for Gifted Education by Rebecca D. Eckert, Jennifer H. Robins Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Divided into sections that represent the key features of effective services for gifted and talented students, this is a comprehensive and authoritative source of practical information for schools and districts charged with the daunting task of developing and/or enhancing G/T programs and services. Publisher Description New material in this text takes into account all the changes in practice in the past 8-9 years, such as collaboration with the special education community to ensure that students with disabilities have access to gifted education services, a focus on diversity, the efforts schools should be making to ensure that underrepresented student populations are screened for gifted education, and how technology has increased opportunities for gifted students, especially in rural communities. The whole book describes a change in focus based on the revised gifted programming standards, which are no longer written as inputs ("do XYZ in the area of curriculum planning") but are now written to be student-outcome oriented ("students need to be able to do ABC").
