This highly practical book will help teachers know what to do when faced with a child in their mainstream class who is considered 'gifted and talented'.The author has followed the progress of 250 mildly, moderately and highly gifted children ranging in age from 3 - 14, looking in particular at their educational assessment and individual education plans. Some of these 15 schools embraced their pupils' learning needs in remarkably inventive and generous ways, whilst other schools simply ignored their pupils' special needs. This book will tell the stories of both the successful schools, identifying the characteristics of their teachers and managers, the available resources and of the children and families themselves - as well as investigate what lessons can be learned from the schools less willing to transform their practice. Teachers and parents of gifted children alike can learn much from this book about what their roles should be, as well as how they will need to work together for the greater good of the gifted child in question.Rogers is the author of 'Educating the Gifted in Mainstream', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415376044 and ISBN 0415376041.
