The Teacher’s Guide to Gifted and Talented Education: Practical strategies for the Classroom demonstrates ways to build and enhance your understanding of gifted learners with evidence-based, hands-on strategies to use in the classroom.

Whether you are looking to improve your own practice or starting out as a Gifted Education coordinator in your school, this book will guide you through each step. Written by an author with extensive practical and research experience in the field, the book is informed by research and covers essential topics from theoretical frameworks to differentiation and innovative pedagogies. Each chapter includes a ‘Back to basics’ section, which provides the key information for those wanting just enough to get going, a ‘Taking it further’ section, which offers a more in-depth critique of the content and a ‘Chapter reflection’ which provides an opportunity to plan and set goals. This book offers a way of thinking about developing the talents of students, at all year levels, in all learning domains and in all contexts. It provides approaches that can be applied in the classroom immediately, or spark bigger conversations within the school.

Filled with tips, strategies, checklists and templates, The Teacher’s Guide to Gifted and Talented Education is an essential resource for all educators, from early childhood through to secondary school.
