TEXTS IN EDUCATION YOUR PASSPORT TO GIFTED ED...

This book is a guide to help teachers  parents  guidance counselors and other stakeholders
understand the importance of intervention for gifted children and to become an advocate for
those individuals who are developmentally advanced. The reader becomes engaged in the analogy
of a three part airplane journey to the world of gifted education: 'Embarking on a Journey '
'Preparing for Departure' and 'Planning for Arrival.' The author offers insightful case studies
followed by strategies for both teachers and parents gained from personal experiences and
research to identify and work with different types of children who present unique challenges
due to their special needs of high potential. By presenting a historical overview in gifted
education from a global perspective  Your Passport to Gifted Education provides current
internationally-researched information to clarify what is meant by 'giftedness' according to
various cultures. The book encourages the development of a growth mindset in the reader to seek
to identify various characteristics of high ability in all children. Four international high
ability identification models are introduced  including one relatively new to North America 
the High Performance Learning Framework (HPL)  currently used throughout China  Europe  the
Middle East and South East Asia. Dispelling the myth that gifted children do not need our help
the reader gains insight into the uniquely different types of gifted individuals. The book
concludes by awarding the reader with a 'Landing Card' to serve as a bookmarker that underpins
the best teaching practices in gifted education. A directory list of websites for international
gifted organizations is also included to offer additional resources for those who want to
continue their journey as advocates and learn how other countries support gifted children
around the world.
