Understanding and Working with Gifted Learners: 'They're Not Bringing My Brain Out'
Autor Rosemary Cathcarten Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2020
- how to cope with a very bright child when you’ve got 30 other children in the class?
- what to do now you’re in charge of the gifted programme?
- what giftedness really is, and what it means?
Based on this far-reaching approach, this book:
- sets out five key concepts to help you recognise and meet the needs of gifted learners at every level of schooling (the REACH model)
- includes a wealth of thoroughly practical teaching strategies to implement the model, with loads of high-interest examples drawn from work by teachers just like you and from gifted learners just like those you know
- introduces a special three-question conceptual lesson-planning tool to bring all these strategies into highly effective and exciting units of work
- covers a wide range of supporting topics such as identification, parent perspectives, cultural differences, acceleration, grouping, giftedness with other special needs, and more.
