The expert guide to the differentiation of curriculum and instruction for the gifted and talented!

Drawing many comparisons and contrasts between gifted and general education best practices, the articles in this volume highlight the many benefits of flexible instruction and curriculum, discuss impediments to the successful adoption of differentiation in classrooms and school districts, and show how educators can overcome these obstacles collaboratively.

Key features include:

  • Eleven influential articles from leading researchers and educators in the field of differentiation

Within this valuable reference guide, readers will also find specific models, general curriculum guidelines, specific instructional strategies, and other tools and methods that will help them monitor learner needs and adapt curriculum accordingly.
