| Summary |
In every possible sub-group of students there are those who are deserving of the benefits typically associated with gifted education programming. Special Populations in Gifted Education: Working with Diverse Gifted Learners reflects today's student demographics and serves as a valuable resource tool to educators and administrators who choose to promote access, equity, and excellence to the special students they serve. This text is further intended to provide a desperately needed update reflecting the modern view of who the "special populations" are in gifted education. Today's gifted students include a complex cross-section of students - from the gay/lesbian/bisexual student to the one who is dual-labeled, and from the biracial/bicultural to the indigenous. Topics include any combination of the following areas of interest: characteristics, curriculum, instruction, assessment and evaluation, nurturing, and meeting their social, emotional, academic, and cognitive needs |
